BACKGROUND

There are many different types of vesicles. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) can be membrane-based structures. In nature, EVs can serve as vehicles that carry different types of cellular cargo-such as lipids, proteins, receptors and effector molecules-to the recipient cells. Exosomes are a type of EV that can be released into the extracellular environment following fusion of multivesicular bodies with the plasma membrane. Exosome production has been described in cells, including B cells, T cells, and dendritic cells (DCs). However, there remains a need for more efficient EV biogenesis or localization and this invention addresses that need.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Provided herein are non-naturally occurring vesicles comprising a chimeric vesicle localization moiety for efficient EV biogenesis or localization. Merely by way of example, the chimeric vesicle localization moiety may comprise a surface-and-transmembrane domain of a first vesicle localization moiety and a cytosolic domain of a second vesicle localization moiety. Such chimeric vesicle localization moiety may additionally comprise one or more tissue or cell targeting moieties for targeting exosomes to a tissue or a specific cell type. Also, the invention provides fusion proteins containing chimeric vesicle localization moieties, vectors comprising nucleic acid sequences encoding such fusion proteins, genetically modified cells comprising such vectors, methods of making the non-naturally occurring vesicles of the invention, pharmaceutical compositions and kits containing same.

FIG. 15 shows enrichment of recombinant proteins in EVs: A) EV populations were isolated from cells transfected with the indicated vector numbers. Isolated EVs were stained with a mouse monoclonal antibody specific to an epitope sequence encoded in the EV surface domain of each recombinant protein. The Y-axis represents the relative amount (on average) of antibody bound to each EV, serving as an indirect measure of the abundance of recombinant protein incorporated into each EV, relative to vector #91. The background signal associated with EVs from mock transfected cells has been subtracted from these values. FIG. 16 shows enrichment of recombinant proteins in EVs: EV populations were isolated from cells transfected with the indicated vector numbers. Isolated EVs were stained with a mouse monoclonal antibody specific to an epitope sequence encoded in the EV surface domain of each recombinant protein. The Y-axis represents the fraction of the total EV population displaying a detectable amount of the recombinant protein on the EV surface, relative to vector #91. The background signal associated with EVs from mock transfected cells has been subtracted from these values. Compared to the fusion protein produced by vector #91, the fusion protein produced by vector #112 (fusion protein with CLSTN1 vesicle localization moiety having CLSTN1 surface-transmembrane-and-cytosolic domain but no CLSTN1 signal sequence) concentrates at a much lower level, about 25% the abundance of the LAMP2-vesicle localization moiety (compare values of #91 and #112 in FIG. 15 ). Surprisingly, when the cytosolic domain LAMP2 is replaced with the cytosolic domain of the CLSTN1, the new chimeric vesicle localization moiety increases by about 2-fold the abundance of the fusion protein over its parental LAMP2 (compare values of #91 and #144) or over 8-fold the abundance of the fusion protein over its parental CLSTN1 (compare values of #112 and #144), indicative of synergistic interaction involving the surface-and-transmembrane domain of LAMP2 and the cytosolic domain of CLSTN1 that leads to increased EV localization.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can also be used in the practice or testing of the present teachings, some exemplary methods and materials are now described. References to exemplary nucleic acid and amino acid sequences and, when applicable their respective SEQ ID Nos, are provided in the Tables herein.

Modified extracellular vesicles are provided which comprise chimeric vesicle localization moieties (also referred to as “chimeric vesicle targeting moiety(ies)”) that enhance the efficient EV biogenesis or localization. Also provided are chimeric vesicle localization moieties that enhance the efficient EV biogenesis or localization. Recombinant plasmids that express chimeric vesicle localization moieties may be used to genetically modify mammalian cells with enhanced properties for enriching in extracellular vesicles, based on the nucleic acid encoding the chimeric vesicle localization moieties, disclosed herein. The chimeric vesicle localization moieties may be produced in vitro or isolated from a cell and later introduced into an extracellular vesicle from an EV producer cell. Such chimeric vesicle localization moieties may additionally comprise one or more targeting moieties. Such targeting moiety(ies) can be engineered to be included on the vesicle surface. The vesicles contemplated herein can include a payload. Such payload can preferably be one that is not naturally present in the vesicle. Such payload can be a natural or synthetic bioactive molecule for eliciting a phenotypic modification in the target cell or tissue of interest. In some instances, a payload is useful for the treatment of a condition. In some instances, a payload is a reporter for screening, detecting, and/or diagnosing a condition in a cell or a subject.

The targeting moieties provided herein can allow selective targeting or focused delivery of appropriate payloads to the cells of interest. This selective targeting or focused delivery can reduce delivery of therapeutics to off-target tissue and cell types, and/or reduce toxicity of the treatment.

Extracellular Vesicles

An extracellular vesicle can be a membrane that encloses an internal space. Extracellular vesicles can be cell-derived bubbles or vesicles made of the same material as cell membranes, such as phospholipids. Cell-derived extracellular vesicles can be smaller than the cell from which they are derived and range in diameter from about 20 nm to 1000 nm (e.g., 20 nm to 1000 nm; 20 nm to 200 nm; 90 nm to 150 nm). Such vesicles can be created through the outward budding and fission from plasma membranes, assembled at and released from an endomembrane compartment, or derived from cells or vesiculated organelles having undergone apoptosis, and can contain organelles. They can be produced in an endosome by inward budding into the endosomal lumen resulting in intraluminal vesicles of a multivesicular body (MVB) and released extracellularly as exosomes upon fusion of the multivesicular body (MVB) with the plasma membrane. They can be derived from cells by direct and indirect manipulation that may involve the destruction of said cells. They can also be derived from a living or dead organism, an explanted tissue or organ, and/or a cultured cell.

Examples of extracellular vesicles include exosomes, ectosome, microvesicle, microsome or other cell-derived membrane vesicles. Other cell-derived membrane vesicles include a shedding vesicle, a plasma membrane-derived vesicle, and/or an exovesicle.

An “extracellular vesicle” used here is produced by cells, and may comprise a phospholipid membrane bilayer enclosing a luminal space. The membrane bilayer incorporates proteins and other macromolecules derived from the cell of origin. The luminal space encapsulates lipids, proteins, organic molecules and macromolecules including nucleic acids and polypeptides.

Exosomes can be secreted membrane-enclosed vesicles that originate from the endosome compartment in cells. The endosome compartment, or the multi-vesicular body, can fuse with the plasma membrane of the cell, with ensuing release to the extracellular space of their vesicles as exosomes. Further, an exosome can comprise a bilayer membrane, and can comprise various macromolecular cargo either within the internal space, displayed on the external surface of the extracellular vesicle, and/or spanning the membrane. Cargo can comprise nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, small molecules, and/or combinations thereof. Exosomes can range in size from about 20 nm to about 300 nm. Additionally, the exosome may have an average diameter in the range of about 50 nm to about 220 nm. Preferably, in a specific embodiment, the exosome has an average diameter of about 120 nm±20 nm.

In some instances, exosomes and other extracellular vesicles can be characterized and marked based on their protein compositions, such as integrins and tetraspanins. Other protein markers that are used to characterize exosomes and other extracellular vesicles (EVs) include TSG101, ALG-2 interacting protein X (ALIX), flotillin 1, and cell adhesion molecules which are derived from the parent cells in which the exosome and/or EV is formed. Similar to proteins, lipids can be major components of exosomes and EVs and can be utilized to characterize them.

Further, naturally occurring exosomes can originate from the endosome and can contain proteins such as heat shock proteins (Hsp70 and Hsp90), membrane transport and fusion proteins (GTPases, Annexins and flotillin), tetraspanins (CD9, CD63, CD81, and CD82) and proteins such as CD47. Among these proteins, heat shock proteins, annexins, and proteins of the Rab family can abundantly be detected in exosomes and can be involved in their intracellular assembly and trafficking. Tetraspanins, a family of transmembrane proteins, can also be detected in exosomes. In a cell, tetraspanins can mediate fusion, cell migration, cell-cell adhesion, and signaling. Other abundant proteins found in exosomes can be the integrins, which can be adhesion molecules that can facilitate cell binding to the extracellular matrix. Integrins can be involved in adhering the vesicles to their target cells. Certain proteins that can be found on the surface of exosomes, such as CD55 and CD59, can protect exosomes from lysis by circulating immune cells, while CD47 on exosomes can act as an anti-phagocytic signal that blocks the uptake of exosomes by immune cells. Other proteins that can be associated with exosomes include thrombospondin, lactadherin, ALIX (also known as PDCD6IP), TSG1012, and SDCB1. Classes of membrane proteins that can naturally occur on the surface of exosomes and other extracellular vesicles include ICAMs, MHC Class I, LAMP2, lactadherin (C1C2 domain), tetraspannins (CD63, CD81, CD82, CD53, and CD37), Tsg101, Rab proteins, integrins, Alix, and lipid raft-associated proteins such as glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-modified proteins and flotillin.

Besides proteins, exosomes can also be rich in lipids, with different types of exosomes containing different types of lipids. The lipid bilayer of exosomes can be constituted of cell plasma membrane types of lipids such as sphingomyelin, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, monosialotetrahexosylganglioside (GM3), and phosphatidylinositol. Other types of lipids that can be found in exosomes are cholesterol, ceramide, and phosphoglycerides, along with saturated fatty-acid chains. Additional optional constituents of exosomes can include nucleic acids such as micro RNA (miRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), and non-coding RNAs. Exosomes can also contain a sugar (e.g., a simple sugar, polysaccharide, or glycan) or other molecules.

An extracellular vesicle can have a longest dimension, such as a cross-sectional diameter, of at least about 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 200, 300, 400, or 500 nm and/or at most about 1000, 500, 400, 300, 200, 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, or 50 nm. In some instances, a longest dimension of a vesicle can range from about 10 nm to about 1000 nm, about 20 nm to about 1000 nm, about 30 nm to about 1000 nm, about 10 nm to about 100 nm, about 20 nm to about 100 nm, about 30 nm to about 100 nm, about 40 nm to about 100 nm, about 10 nm to about 200 nm, about 20 nm to about 200 nm, about 30 nm to about 200 nm, about 40 nm to about 200 nm, about 10 nm to about 120 nm, about 20 nm to about 120 nm, such as about 30 nm to about 120 nm, about 40 nm to about 120 nm, about 10 nm to about 300 nm, about 20 nm to about 300 nm, about 30 nm to about 300 nm, about 40 nm to about 300 nm, about 50 nm to about 1000 nm, about 500 nm to about 2000 nm, about 100 nm to about 500 nm, about 500 nm to about 1000 nm, and such as about 40 nm to about 500 nm, each range inclusive. When referring to a plurality of vesicles, such ranges can represent the average of all vesicles, including naturally occurring and modified vesicles in the mix.

As used herein, the term “average” may be mean, mode or medium for a group of measurements.

As used herein, the term “about” when used before a numerical designation, e.g., diameter, size, temperature, time, amount, concentration, and such other, including a range, indicates approximations which may vary by (+) or (−) 10%, 5% or 1%.

As used herein the singular forms “a”, “and”, and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “a cell” includes a plurality of such cells and reference to “the culture” includes reference to one or more cultures and equivalents thereof known to those skilled in the art, and so forth.

Without being bound by any theory, a “vesicle localization moiety” (also referred to as a vesicle targeting moiety) may be a macromolecule that localizes at an extracellular vesicle. In an embodiment, the vesicle localization moiety is a polypeptide. In an embodiment, the vesicle localization moiety is a protein. In an embodiment, the protein is a single polypeptide chain. In an embodiment, the vesicle localization moiety is a protein that localizes at an extracellular vesicle. In an embodiment, the vesicle localization moiety is a membrane protein. In a preferred embodiment, the vesicle localization moiety is a transmembrane protein comprising a surface domain, a transmembrane domain and a cytosolic domain. Localization of such a transmembrane protein at an extracellular vesicle results in the surface domain at the outer surface of the vesicle, the transmembrane domain with the lipid bilayer of the vesicle and the cytosolic domain in the lumen of the vesicle. Because of topological equivalence, a surface domain may also be referred to as an extracellular domain, since the surface domain on the surface of an exosome shares the same topological state as plasma membrane bound transmembrane protein on the surface of a cell; similarly, a cytosolic domain may be referred to as a lumenal domain, since part of the cytoplasm where the cytosolic domain initially resides is incorporated into the lumen of a vesicle produced by inward budding of an endosomal membrane to eventually produce multiple intraluminal vesicles of a multivesicular body (MVB) prior to secretion of the vesicles as exosomes upon fusion of the MVB with the plasma membrane of an EV producer cell.

In an embodiment, the vesicle localization moiety may be a single pass transmembrane protein. Merely by way of example, the single pass transmembrane protein may comprise an amino-terminal surface domain and a carboxyl-terminal cytosolic domain (lumenal domain) joined by a transmembrane domain. For example, nascent or newly synthesized single pass transmembrane protein may additionally comprise a signal peptide preceding the surface domain, which is cleaved by a signal peptidase upon translocation of the nascent protein into a membrane, such as endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotes or plasma membrane in prokaryotes. In another embodiment, the nascent or newly synthesized transmembrane protein may be processed to a mature transmembrane protein which lacks a signal peptide of the nascent or newly synthesized transmembrane protein.

In one example, the single pass transmembrane protein is a type I transmembrane protein. In an embodiment, the single pass, type I transmembrane protein comprises an amino-terminal surface domain and a carboxyl-terminal cytosolic domain (lumenal domain) joined by a transmembrane domain. In another embodiment, nascent or newly synthesized single pass, type I transmembrane protein additionally comprises a signal peptide preceding the surface domain, which is cleaved by a signal peptidase upon translocation of the nascent protein into a membrane, such as endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotes or plasma membrane in prokaryotes. In yet another embodiment, the nascent or newly synthesized single pass, type I transmembrane protein is processed to a mature single pass, type I transmembrane protein which lacks a signal peptide of the nascent or newly synthesized single pass, type I transmembrane protein. In a preferred embodiment, the nascent or newly synthesized single pass, type I transmembrane protein may be processed to a mature single pass, type I transmembrane protein which lacks a signal peptide of the nascent or newly synthesized single pass, type I transmembrane protein.

The vesicle localization moiety may have a surface domain, a transmembrane domain and a cytosolic domain. Such protein domains are known in the art and are well annotated and defined for the proteins described, herein, in the figures and in annotations associated with Accession Numbers from publicly available databases, referred herein, such as UniProtKB (UniProt Release 2019_11 (11 Dec. 2019); The UniProt Consortium (2019) UniProt: a worldwide hub of protein knowledge. Nucleic Acids Res. 47:D506-515) and Genome Reference Consortium Human Build 38 patch release 13 (GRCh38.p13; GenBank assembly accession GCA_000001405.28 and RefSeq assembly accession GCF_000001405.39).

In an embodiment of the invention, the vesicle localization moiety is produced in a eukaryotic cell, preferably a mammal and most preferably a human. In another embodiment, a vesicle localization moiety may be linked to a targeting moiety either covalently in a fusion protein comprising the vesicle localization moiety and a targeting moiety or non-covalently through a pair of interacting domains or surfaces shared between a polypeptide comprising the vesicle localization moiety and a second polypeptide comprising a targeting moiety.

A “chimeric vesicle localization moiety” is a vesicle localization moiety which may be produced by substituting one vesicle localization domain with another vesicle localization domain, so as to produce a chimeric vesicle localization moiety. A chimeric vesicle localization moiety may be obtained by combining one or more functional domains of one vesicle localization moiety with one or more functional domains of another, different vesicle localization moiety. The combination comprises portion(s) of at least two vesicle localization moieties, so as to obtain a chimeric vesicle localization moiety which is superior in its association with an EV than either of the parental vesicle localization moiety, as quantified by mean recombinant protein density on EV surface and/or fraction (or percent) of total EVs positive for the recombinant protein. In an embodiment, the chimeric vesicle localization moiety comprises a surface domain, a transmembrane domain and a lumenal or cytosolic domain of a transmembrane protein or the two parental transmembrane proteins from which it is derived. In an embodiment, the chimeric vesicle localization moiety has the same arrangement of surface domain, transmembrane domain and lumenal or cytosolic domain as described for the vesicle localization moiety, described above. Merely by way of example, a chimeric vesicle localization moiety comprising a surface-and-transmembrane domain of a first vesicle localization moiety and a cytosolic domain of a second vesicle localization moiety may interact synergistically to increase accumulation at an extracellular vesicle. This not only may improve EV localization but may also change the composition of EVs.

The chimeric vesicle localization moiety can be a single pass transmembrane protein. The chimeric vesicle localization moiety can be a type I transmembrane protein, albeit a chimeric type I transmembrane protein. The chimeric vesicle localization moiety can be a single pass, type I transmembrane protein, albeit a chimeric single pass, type I transmembrane protein. In an embodiment, the chimeric vesicle localization moiety comprises an amino-terminal surface domain and a carboxyl-terminal cytosolic domain (lumenal domain) joined by a transmembrane domain.

“Surface domain” is a subset of the protein or polypeptide primary sequence that is exposed to the extra-EV environment. The surface domain may be a loop between two transmembrane domains or it can contain one of the termini (amino or carboxy) of the protein. Protein domain topology relative to the membrane bi-layer can be determined empirically by assessing what portions of the protein are digested by an external protease. More recently, characteristic amino acid patterns, such as basic or acidic residues in the juxta-membrane regions of the protein have been used to algorithmically assign probable topologies (extracellular versus cytosolic) to integral membrane proteins. Since EVs have the same membrane topology orientation as the plasma membrane of the whole cell (the outer leaflet of the membrane is the same between cells and EVs), these algorithms can be applied to EV resident proteins as well. As such, the surface domain of an EV localizing transmembrane protein may sometimes be referred to as an extracellular domain due to the same membrane topology of an EV and plasma membrane. For example, the “surface domain” may be a short peptide of approximately 10-15 amino acids. In one embodiment, the “surface domain” may be an unstructured polypeptide. In another embodiment, the “surface domain” is the entire surface domain of an integral membrane protein. In yet another embodiment, the “surface domain” is part or portion of the surface domain of an integral membrane protein. In an embodiment, the surface domain is amino terminal to the transmembrane domain and cytosolic domain. In an embodiment, the surface domain is at the N-terminus of the vesicle localization moiety or the chimeric vesicle localization moiety and is on the external surface of an extracellular vesicle, such as an exosome.

“Transmembrane domain” may be a span of about 18-40 aliphatic, apolar and hydrophobic amino acids that assembles into an alpha-helical secondary structure and spans from one face of a membrane bilayer to the other face, meaning that the N-terminus of the helix extends at least to and in many cases beyond the phospholipid headgroups of one membrane leaflet while the C-terminus extends to the phospholipid headgroups of the other leaflet. In an embodiment, the transmembrane domain connects an amino terminal surface domain with a carboxyl terminal cytosolic domain.

“Cytosolic domain” is a subset of the protein or polypeptide primary sequence that is exposed to the intra-EV or intracellular environment. The cytosolic domain can be a loop between two transmembrane domains or it can contain one of the termini (amino or carboxy) of the protein. Its topology is distinct from that of the transmembrane and the surface domains. In an embodiment, the cytosolic domain is in the cytoplasmic side of a cell. In another embodiment, the cytosolic domain is in the lumen of a vesicle. In an embodiment, the cytosolic domain is at the C-terminus of the vesicle localization moiety or the chimeric vesicle localization moiety.

Merely by way of example, sequences corresponding to “surface domain,” “transmembrane domain” and “cytosolic domain” for the proteins disclosed herein may be found within the description under protein accession numbers provided herein. Particularly useful examples are the proteins cataloged within UniProtKB (UniProt Release 2019_11 (11 Dec. 2019)) where under each accession number amino acid sequence along with features and functional domains are provided. For example, topological domains associated with each of the transmembrane vesicle localization moiety provided herein may be found in UniProKB accession number with the description of “extracellular” for the “surface domain,” “helical” for the “transmembrane domain” and “cytoplasmic” for the “cytosolic domain.” Amino acid sequences corresponding to “signal peptide” are also indicated as being processed out of the mature transmembrane protein. In addition, a number of other publicly available databases may also be used to identify the surface (extracellular), transmembrane and cytosolic (lumenal or cytoplasmic) domain, such as Membranome: membrane proteome of single-helix transiembrane proteins (membranome.org; Lomize, A. L. et al. (2017) Membranome: a database for proteome-wide analysis of single-pass membrane proteins. Nucleic Acids Res. 45:D250-D255 and Lomize, A. L. et al.

The mutation may be a deletion, insertion or a substitution, so long as the resulting mutant retains at least 80% or at least about 90% of the EV association activity of the unmutated counterpart. In an embodiment, the “chimeric vesicle localization moiety” is derived from combining domains of two proteins encoded by two distinct genes which are not allelic or homologs. In an embodiment, the “chimeric vesicle localization moiety” is derived from combining domains of two proteins encoded by two distinct genes which are not orthologs.

An “isoform” of a protein can be, e.g., a protein resulting from alternative splicing of a gene expressing the protein, a protein resulting from alternative promoter usage of a gene expressing the protein, or a degradation product of the protein.

“Surface-and-transmembrane domain” is a contiguous polypeptide containing both a domain that is exposed to extracellular or extra-EV solvent and a transmembrane domain as described above.

A “linker” may be a peptide or polypeptide with 3 to 1000 amino acids that are generally non-hydrophobic and encode no secondary structural elements such as helices or beta-sheets. Suitable examples include, but are not limited to, any of (Gly)₈, (Gly)₆, (GS)_(n) (n=1-5), (GGS)_(n) (n=1-5), (GGGS)_(n) (n=1-5), (GGGGS)_(n) (n=1-5), (GGGGGS)_(n) (n=1-5) (EAAAK)_(n) (n=1-3), A(EAAAK)₄ALEA(EAAAK)₄A, (GGGGS)_(n) (n=1-4), (Ala-Pro)_(n) (10-34 aa), cleavable linkers such as VSQTSKLTRAETVFPDV, PLGLWA, RVLAEA; EDVVCCSMSY; GGIEGRGS, TRHRQPRGWE, AGNRVRRSVG, RRRRRRRRR, GLFG, and LE.

As used herein “isolated” means a state following one or more purifying steps but does not require absolute purity. “Isolated” extracellular vesicle (e.g., exosome) or composition thereof means a extracellular vesicle, exosome or composition thereof passed through one or more purifying steps that separate the vesicle, extracellular vesicle, exosome or composition from other molecules, materials or cellular components found in a mixture or outside of the vesicle, extracellular vesicle or exosome or found as part of the composition prior to purification or separation. Isolation and purification may be achieved in accordance with conventional methods of recombinant synthesis or cell free protein synthesis. Separation procedures of interest include affinity chromatography. Affinity chromatography makes use of the highly specific binding sites usually present in biological macromolecules, separating molecules on their ability to bind a particular ligand. For example, covalent bonds attach the ligand to an insoluble, porous support medium in a manner that overtly presents the ligand to the protein sample, thereby using natural biospecific binding of one molecular species to separate and purify a second species from a mixture. Antibodies may be used in affinity chromatography. Preferably a microsphere or matrix is used as the support for affinity chromatography. Such supports are known in the art and are commercially available, and include activated supports that can be combined to the linker molecules. For example, Affi-Gel supports, based on agarose or polyacrylamide are low pressure gels suitable for most laboratory-scale purifications with a peristaltic pump or gravity flow elution. Affi-Prep supports, based on a pressure-stable macroporous polymer, may be suitable for preparative and process scale applications. Isolation may also be performed using methods involving centrifugation, filtration, size exclusion chromatography and vesicle flow cytometry.

Engineered Extracellular Vesicles

In some instances, an extracellular vesicle herein is engineered for enhanced targeting to a cell or tissue of interest. Such engineered vesicles can be non-naturally occurring. Such engineered vesicles can be ‘targeted’ or ‘guided’ via a functionalized moiety (a targeting moiety) for increased affinity to a cell, tissue, or organ of interest. A vesicle can be engineered to include a heterologous expression of one or more targeting moieties.

Vesicle functionalization can occur by modification of vesicles such as exosomes, to display an exogenous protein or nucleic acid. As used herein, a “targeting moiety” can include, but is not limited to, a small molecule, glycoprotein, protein, peptide, lipid, carbohydrate, nucleic acid, or other molecules involved in EV trafficking and/or EV interaction with target cells. The targeting moiety may be displayed inside or on the outside of a vesicle membrane or may span the inner membrane, outer membrane, or both inner and other membranes. For targeting cell surface receptor, ligand, or moiety on the outside of a cell or tissue, the targeting moiety is similarly displayed on the outside of a vesicle membrane, so as to be able to bind to the targeted cell surface receptor, ligand or moiety. The targeting moiety may be expressed in exosomes that are “emptied” of natural cargo, “carry” a naturally occurring cargo or loaded with a payload for delivery to such as target cells or tissues.

In one instance, an engineered vesicle is one that is functionalized or is engineered to express a targeting moiety (e.g., a protein, peptide or nucleic acid) that selectively targets a cell or tissue of interest. Such engineered vesicle can be an exosome. In some embodiments, such engineered vesicle is an extracellular vesicle. In a preferred embodiment, the engineered vesicle is an exosome. In an embodiment, an engineered vesicle comprises a chimeric vesicle localization moiety attached to a targeting moiety. In a preferred embodiment, an engineered vesicle comprises a chimeric vesicle localization moiety attached to a targeting moiety, displayed outside the vesicle. In another preferred embodiment, an engineered vesicle is an engineered extracellular vesicle comprising a chimeric vesicle localization moiety attached to a targeting moiety, displayed outside the EV. In a more preferred embodiment, an engineered vesicle is an engineered exosome comprising a chimeric vesicle localization moiety attached to a targeting moiety, displayed outside the exosome.

Target Cells

The vesicles described herein can be used to selectively target a cell, tissue, or organ of interest. In some embodiments, the target cell is an eukaryotic cell. A target cell can be a cell from an animal such as a mouse, rat, rabbit, hamster, porcine, bovine, feline, or canine. The target cells can be a cell of primates, including but not limited to, monkeys, chimpanzees, gorillas, and humans.

Targeting Moieties of Interest

Any of the extracellular vesicles disclosed herein may include one or more targeting moieties of interest. They can be embedded in or displayed on vesicle membranes. The extracellular vesicle can be an exosome, and the targeting moiety can be displayed on the outer surface of the exosome. For example, the targeting moiety may be displayed/joined/attached to the surface domain of the chimeric localization moiety.

In a preferred example, the invention provides an extracellular vesicle of the invention comprising a chimeric vesicle localization moiety comprising a surface and transmembrane domain of a first vesicle localization moiety and a cytosolic domain of a second vesicle localization moiety, wherein a targeting moiety is attached or joined covalently or noncovalently to the surface domain of the first vesicle localization moiety. However, the invention contemplates other types of domain swapping between different vesicle localization moieties including chimeric vesicle localization moieties having the arrangement of ABc, AbC, Abe, aBC, aBc and abC, where A, B and C correspond to the surface domain, transmembrane domain and cytosolic domain, respectively, of a first vesicle localization moiety and a, b, and c correspond to the surface domain, transmembrane domain and cytosolic domain, respectively, of a second vesicle localization moiety. In those embodiments, the targeting moiety can be displayed on a surface domain.

Targeting moieties (such as tissue specific targeting moieties) can comprise a small molecule, glycoprotein, polypeptides, peptide, oligopeptide, protein, lipid, carbohydrate, nucleic acid polysaccharides, therapeutic drugs, imaging moieties or other molecules that facilitates the targeting of the vesicle to a cell or tissue of interest. The term “polypeptide,” “peptide,” “oligopeptide,” and “protein,” are used interchangeably herein, and refer to a polymeric form of amino acids of any length, which can include coded and non-coded amino acids, chemically, or biochemically modified or derivatized amino acids, and polypeptides having modified peptide backbones.

In one embodiment of the invention, a targeting moiety may be an antibody, a ligand or a functional epitope thereof that binds to a cell or tissue marker, for example, a cell surface receptor.

As used herein, the term antibody can be a protein or polypeptide functionally defined as a binding protein and structurally defined as comprising an amino acid sequence that is recognized by one of skill in the art as being derived from a variable region of an immunoglobulin. An antibody can comprise one or more polypeptides substantially encoded by immunoglobulin genes, fragments of immunoglobulin genes, hybrid immunoglobulin genes (made by combining the genetic information from different animals), or synthetic immunoglobulin genes. The recognized, native, immunoglobulin genes can include the kappa, lambda, alpha, gamma, delta, epsilon and mu constant region genes, as well as myriad immunoglobulin variable region genes and multiple D-segments and J-segments. Light chains can be classified as either kappa or lambda. Heavy chains can be classified as gamma, mu, alpha, delta, or epsilon, which in turn define the immunoglobulin classes, IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD and IgE, respectively.

Antibodies may exist as intact immunoglobulins, as a number of well characterized fragments produced by digestion with various peptidases to produce, for example, antigen-binding fragments F(ab′)₂, Fab and Fab′, or as a variety of fragments made by recombinant DNA technology, such as variable fragment (Fv), single chain variable fragment (scFv), diabodies, tascFv, bis-scFv, nanobody (e.g., V_(H)H or V_(NAR) fragment), and miniaturized “3G” fragment (Nelson, A. L. (2010) Antibody fragments. MAbs 2: 77-83; and Muyldermans, S. (2103) Nanobodies: natural single-domain antibodies. Ann. Rev. Biochem. 82:775-797). Antibodies can derive from many different species (e.g., rabbit, sheep, camel, human, or rodent, such as mouse or rat), or can be synthetic. Antibodies can be chimeric, humanized, or human. Antibodies can be monoclonal or polyclonal, multiple or single chained, fragments or intact immunoglobulins. In a preferred embodiment, the antibody is a scFv.

In an embodiment of the invention, the targeting moiety is a peptide (e.g., an affinity peptide). In another embodiment, the targeting moiety may be an antibody fragment. In yet another embodiment, the antibody fragment may be any of F(ab′)2, Fab, Fab′, Fv, scFv, diabodies, tascFv, bis-scFv, nanobody and miniaturized “3G” fragment. In a preferred embodiment, the antibody fragment is single chain Fv (scFv), wherein variable region of heavy chain (V_(H)) and variable region of light chain (V_(L)) are joined together by a flexible linker. The variable region of heavy chain fragment can precede the variable region of light chain fragment, or vice versa. The flexible linker is often glycine-serine rich, such as a (GGGGS)₄ linker. In one embodiment, the scFv binds a target on the surface of a cell or tissue. In a preferred embodiment, the scFv is attached to a chimeric vesicle localization moiety incorporated in an extracellular vesicle (such as an exosome) and displayed outside the extracellular vesicle (e.g., exosome). In a more preferred embodiment, the scFv is attached to a chimeric vesicle localization moiety and displayed outside an extracellular vesicle (e.g., exosome) preferentially or selectively targets a specific cell type or tissue. Merely by way of example, the antibody fragment may be monospecific or bispecific. In an embodiment of the invention, the antibody fragment may be multivalent.

Examples of suitable antibodies particularly single chain Fv antibodies; and fragments, include antibodies directed against any of Thy1, MHC class II, C3d-binding region of complement receptor type 2 (CR2), VCAM-1, E-selectin, alpha 8 integrin, integrin alpha-M (CD11b) and CD163. Exemplary antibodies from which Fab and/or scFv antibodies may be prepared include OX7 antibody against Thy1 protein (Suana, A. J. et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 2011; 337:411-422; RT1 antibody against MHC class II protein (Hultman, K. L. et al., ACS Nano. 2008; 2:477-484); monoclonal antibody to C3d binding region of CR2 (Serkova, N.J. et al., Radiology. 2010; 255:517-526); monoclonal antibody to VCAM-1 (clone M/K2, Cambridge Bioscience) (Akhtar, A.M., PLoS One. 2010; 5:e12800); monoclonal antibody, MES-1, directed to E-selectin (Asgeirsdottir, S. A. et al., Mol. Pharmacol. 2007; 72:121-131); anti-α8 integrin antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnologies) (Scindia, Y. et al., Arthritis Rheum. 2008; 58:3884 3891); monoclonal antibody against CD11b (Shirai, T. et al., Drug Targeting. 2012; 20:535-543); and anti-CD163 monoclonal antibody (ED2; sc-58965, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) (Sawano, T. et al. 2015. Oncology reports. 33: 2151-60).

Any of the targeting moieties described herein can enhance the selectivity of the vesicles towards the target cell of interest as compared to one or more other tissues or cells. The one or more selective targeting moieties can be expressed on modified vesicles in a way that allows such modified vesicles to bind to intended targets. The one or more targeting moieties can expose sufficient amount of amino acids to allow such binding.

The modified vesicles provided herein can comprise one or more targeting moieties that selectively target the vesicles to cells or tissue of interest by binding or physically interacting with markers expressed on such cells.

The term “selective” or “selectively” as used herein in the context of selective targeting or selective binding or selective interaction can refer to a preferential targeting, binding or interaction to a cell, tissue, or organ of interest as compared to at least one other type of cell, tissue or organ.

A “functional fragment” of a protein can mean a fragment of the protein which retains a function of a full-length protein from which it is derived, e.g., a targeting or binding function identical or similar to that of the full-length protein. A “functional fragment” of an antibody can be its antigen binding portion or fragment, which confers binding specificity for the intact antibody. A function can be similar to a function of a full-length protein if it retains at least 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 99%, or 100% of that function of the full-length protein. The function can be measured e.g., using an assay, e.g., an in vivo binding assay, a binding assay in a cell, or an in vitro binding assay.

In general, “sequence identity” or “sequence homology”, refer to a nucleotide-to-nucleotide or amino acid-to-amino acid correspondence of two polynucleotides or polypeptide sequences, respectively. As used herein, “sequence identity” or “identity” refers, in the context of two nucleic acid sequences or amino acid sequences, to the residues in the two sequences that are the same when aligned for maximum correspondence over a specified comparison window.

As used herein, “percent sequence identity” means the value determined by comparing two optimally aligned sequences over a comparison window, wherein (the portion of the polynucleotide or polypeptide sequence in the comparison window may comprise additions or deletions (i.e., gaps) compared to the reference sequence which does not comprise additions or deletions comprises) can for optimal alignment of the two sequences. The percentage can be calculated by determining the number of positions at which the identical nucleotide or amino acid occurs in both sequences to yield the number of matched positions, dividing the number of matched positions by the total number of positions in the comparison window and multiplying the result by 100 to determine the percentage of sequence identity.

Sequence comparisons, such as for the purpose of assessing identities, may be performed by any suitable alignment algorithm, including but not limited to the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm (see, e.g., the EMBOSS Needle aligner available at www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/psa/emboss_needle/, optionally with default settings; Needleman, S. B. and Wunsch, C. D. (1970) A general method applicable to the search for similarities in the amino acid sequence of two proteins. J. Mol. Biol. 48:443-53), the BLAST algorithm (see, e.g., the BLAST alignment tool available at blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi, optionally with default settings; Altschul, S. F. et al. (1990) Basic local alignment search tool. J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410; and Altschul, S. F. et al. (1997) Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs. Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402), and the Smith-Waterman algorithm (see, e.g., the EMBOSS Water aligner available at www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/psa/emboss_water/, optionally with default settings; Smith, T. F. and Waterman, M.S. (1981) Identification of common molecular subsequences. J. Mol. Biol. 147:195-7). Optimal alignment may be assessed using any suitable parameters of a chosen algorithm, including default parameters.

The “percent identity” between two sequences may be calculated as the number of exact matches between two optimally aligned sequences divided by the length of the reference sequence and multiplied by 100. Percent identity may also be determined, for example, by comparing sequence information using the advanced BLAST computer program, including version 2.2.9, available from the National Institutes of Health. The BLAST program can be based on the alignment method of Karlin and Altschul, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:2264-2268 (1990) and as discussed in Altschul, et al., J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410 (1990); Karlin and Altschul, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:5873-5877 (1993); and Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402 (1997). Briefly, the BLAST program can define identity as the number of identical aligned symbols (i.e., nucleotides or amino acids), divided by the total number of symbols in the shorter of the two sequences. The program may be used to determine percent identity over the entire length of the sequences being compared. Default parameters can be provided to optimize searches with short query sequences, for example, with the BLASTP program. The program can also allow use of an SEG filter to mask-off segments of the query sequences as determined by the SEG program of Wootton, J. C. and Federhen, S. (1993) Computers Chem. 17:149-163. High sequence identity can include sequence identity in ranges of sequence identity of approximately 80% to 99% and integer values there between.

A “homolog” or “homologue” can refer to any sequence that has at least about 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 99.5% sequence homology to another sequence. Preferably, a homolog or homologue refers to any sequence that has at least about 98%, 99%, or 99.5% sequence homology to another sequence. In some cases, the homolog can have a functional or structural equivalence with the native or naturally occurring sequence. In some cases, the homolog can have a functional or structural equivalence with a domain, a motif or a part of the protein, that is encoded by the native sequence or naturally occurring sequence.

Homology comparisons may be conducted with sequence comparison programs. Computer programs may calculate percent (%) homology between two or more sequences and may also calculate the sequence identity shared by two or more amino acid or nucleic acid sequences. Sequence homologies may be generated by any of a number of computer programs, for example BLAST or FASTA, etc. A suitable computer program for carrying out such an alignment is the GCG Wisconsin Bestfit package (University of Wisconsin, U.S.A; Devereux, J. et al. (1984) Nucleic Acids Res. 12:387). Examples of other software than may perform sequence comparisons include, but are not limited to, the BLAST package (see Ausubel, F. M. et al. (1999) Short Protocols in Molecular Biology, 4^(th) Ed.—Chapter 18), FASTA (Atschul, S. F. et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410) and the GENEWORKS suite of comparison tools.

Percent homology may be calculated over contiguous sequences, i.e., one sequence is aligned with the other sequence and each amino acid or nucleotide in one sequence is directly compared with the corresponding amino acid or nucleotide in the other sequence, one residue at a time. This is called an “ungapped” alignment. Typically, such ungapped alignments can be performed over a relatively short number of residues.

In an otherwise identical pair of sequences, one insertion or deletion may cause the following amino acid or nucleotide residues to be put out of alignment, thus potentially resulting in a large reduction in % homology when a global alignment is performed. Consequently, the sequence comparison method can be designed to produce optimal alignments that take into consideration possible insertions and deletions without unduly penalizing the overall homology or identity score. This can be achieved by inserting “gaps” in the sequence alignment to try to maximize local homology or identity.

BLAST 2 Sequences is another tool that can be used for comparing protein and nucleotide sequences (see FEMS Microbiol Lett. 1999 174(2): 247-50; FEMS Microbiol Lett. 1999 177(1): 187-8 and the website of the National Center for Biotechnology information at the website of the National Institutes for Health).

Homologous sequences can also have deletions, insertions or substitutions of amino acid residues which result in a functionally equivalent substance. Deliberate amino acid substitutions may be made on the basis of similarity in amino acid properties (such as polarity, charge, solubility, hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, and/or the amphipathic nature of the residues) and it is therefore useful to group amino acids together in functional groups. Amino acids may be grouped together based on the properties of their side chains alone.

Substantially homologous sequences of the present invention include variants of the disclosed sequences, e.g., those resulting from site-directed mutagenesis, as well as synthetically generated sequences. In some cases, the variants may be allelic variants due to different alleles. In some cases, the variants may be derived from the same gene or allele due to alternative transcription start site or alternative splicing, resulting in variants which are isoforms.

An extracellular vesicle of the present disclosure can be one that comprises (e.g., on its surface) one or more targeting moiety(ies) to a marker of interest. A marker of interest may be a cell surface marker of a target cell of interest to which a vesicle of the present invention is intended to target or bind. In some embodiments, a vesicle of the present disclosure is one that comprises (e.g., on its surface) targeting moiety(ies) to a marker of interest or a homologue(s) of a marker of interest. In some instance, a vesicle comprises at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 different targeting moiety(ies). In an embodiment, a vesicle comprises a chimeric vesicle localization moiety attached to one or more targeting moiety(ies) to a marker of interest. The marker of interest may be a cell surface marker. In an embodiment, a vesicle comprises two or more chimeric vesicle localization moieties, wherein each chimeric vesicle localization moiety comprises a different targeting moiety(ies) targeted to the same marker of interest. In an embodiment, a vesicle comprises two or more chimeric vesicle localization moieties, wherein each chimeric vesicle localization moiety comprises a different targeting moiety(ies) targeted to the different markers of interest. In an embodiment, a vesicle comprises two or more chimeric vesicle localization moieties, wherein each chimeric vesicle localization moiety comprises a different targeting moiety(ies) targeted to the different markers of interest present on the same cell. In an embodiment, a vesicle comprises two or more chimeric vesicle localization moieties, wherein each chimeric vesicle localization moiety comprises a different targeting moiety(ies) targeted to the different markers of interest present on different cell types. In an embodiment, a vesicle comprises two or more chimeric vesicle localization moieties, wherein each chimeric vesicle localization moiety comprises a different targeting moiety(ies) targeted to the different markers of interest present in a tissue. In an embodiment, a vesicle comprises two or more chimeric vesicle localization moieties, wherein each chimeric vesicle localization moiety comprises a different targeting moiety(ies) targeted to the different markers of interest present in different tissues. In some instance, a vesicle comprises a sufficient number of targeting moiety(ies) to selectively target cells of interest over other cells. In some instance, a vesicle comprises a sufficient number of targeting moiety(ies) to selectively target a tissue of interest over other tissues.

In some cases, the vesicle comprises a concentration of a targeting moiety of interest that is 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 30, 33, 35, 38, 40, 43, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 55, 57, 59, 62, 65, 68, 70, 72, 75, 78, 80, 82, 85, 89, 91, 92, 95, 100, 110, 120, 125, 130, 135, 145, 150, 155, 160, 170, 180, 185, 200, 210, 220, 230, 250, 270, 280, 290, 300, 310, 320, 330, 340, 350, 380, 400, 410, 430, 440, 450, 470, 490, 500, 510, 525, 540, 560, 580, 590, 600, 620, 650, 670, 680, 690, 700, 720, 740, 760, 780, 800, 820, 840, 860, 880, 890, 900, 920, 940, 960, 980 or 1000 times higher than the concentration of the targeting moiety on the surface of a naturally occurring vesicle. In some cases, the vesicle comprises a targeting moiety which is not naturally associated with a vesicle or an extracellular vesicle. In a preferred embodiment, the vesicle comprises a targeting moiety of interest fused to a chimeric vesicle localization moiety. In a separate preferred embodiment, the vesicle comprises two or more targeting moiety of interest fused to one or more chimeric vesicle localization moiety.

Fusion Proteins

The “fusion protein” can be a single polypeptide derived from two separate polypeptides or portions of two separate polypeptides. As such, a chimeric vesicle localization may be considered a fusion protein. The one or more targeting moieties of interest can be operably linked (directly or indirectly) to a chimeric vesicle localization moiety (e.g., as a fusion protein). In an embodiment, a targeting moiety may be linked non-covalently to a chimeric vesicle localization moiety mediated by interacting surfaces or partners in separate polypeptides comprising the targeting moiety and another polypeptide comprising the chimeric vesicle localization moiety. Such interacting surfaces or partners may be inherently present on or be covalently attached to the targeting moiety and/or chimeric vesicle localization moiety. Molecular forces maintaining non-covalent linkages or interactions include hydrogen bond, ionic bond, van der Waals interaction and hydrophobic bond.

Alternatively, in a separate embodiment, a targeting moiety may be covalently linked to a chimeric vesicle localization moiety, and together the two can be referred to as a fusion protein comprising a targeting moiety and a chimeric vesicle localization moiety. The chimeric vesicle localization moiety of the fusion protein can target the targeting moieties of interest (or other fused molecule) to a vesicle. In some embodiments, a chimeric vesicle localization moiety targets the targeting moieties of interest (or other fused molecule) to the membrane of a vesicle. Preferably the chimeric vesicle localization moiety targets to the membrane of an exosome. In some instances, fusion proteins can be made with a chimeric vesicle localization moiety and a ligand (targeting moiety of interest) that binds a cell receptor of interest. The ligand can be surface exposed and can selectively bind to a receptor or receptors on the surface of the target cell. These fusion proteins of such targeting moieties can be loaded onto vesicles (e.g., exosomes and EVs) endogenously or exogenously. Alternatively, nucleic acids encoding fusion proteins or such targeting moieties and chimeric vesicle localization moieties separately can be used to express the exosome localization moiety and targeting moieties.

In a preferred embodiment, the chimeric vesicle localization moieties may be produced by domain swapping include any of the following: ADAM10, ALCAM, CLSTN1, IGSF8, IL3RA, ITGA3, ITGB1, LAMP2, L1LRB4, PTGFRN, and SELPLG or an isoform thereof, or a homologue thereof, or a functional fragment thereof. Domain swapping is most easily achieved through recombinant DNA methods using coding sequence provided or referred to in Tables 1 and 2 to precisely dissect and fuse two different coding sequences in-frame with each other to obtain a single nucleic acid encoding a chimeric vesicle localization moiety. Nucleic acid sequences encoding exemplary chimeric vesicle localization moieties may be obtained in Tables 3 and 5.

In an embodiment, a chimeric vesicle localization moiety may be produced by domain swapping two non-homologous vesicle localization moieties. In an embodiment, a chimeric vesicle localization moiety may be produced by domain swapping two vesicle localization moieties which are not orthologs. In an embodiment, a chimeric vesicle localization moiety may be produced by domain swapping two vesicle localization moieties which are not paralogs. In an embodiment, a chimeric vesicle localization moiety may be produced by domain swapping two vesicle localization moieties which are paralogs. In an embodiment, a chimeric vesicle localization moiety may be produced by domain swapping two vesicle localization moieties which are not allelic variants. In an embodiment, a chimeric vesicle localization moiety may be produced by domain swapping two vesicle localization moieties which are not isoforms. In an embodiment, a chimeric vesicle localization moiety may be produced by domain swapping two vesicle localization moieties which are not related by an ancestral gene or gene duplication. In an embodiment, a chimeric vesicle localization moiety may be produced by domain swapping two vesicle localization moieties which are related by gene duplication and have evolved to be paralogs encoded by homologous genes at a different genetic locus (not allelic). In an embodiment, a chimeric vesicle localization moiety may be produced by domain swapping two vesicle localization moieties which are distinct and non-homologous proteins. In an embodiment, a chimeric vesicle localization moiety may be produced by domain swapping two vesicle localization moieties, wherein the domains being swapped share less than about 95%, 90%, 70%, 50% or preferably less than about 30% amino acid sequence identity with gaps allowed in the sequence alignment to maximize sequence identity. In an embodiment, a chimeric vesicle localization moiety may be produced by domain swapping two vesicle localization moieties, wherein the domains being swapped differ in the length of the primary amino acid sequence by more than about 1.3-fold, 1.5-fold, 1.7-fold, 1.9-fold, 2.3-fold, 2.7-fold or more preferably about 3-fold compared to the shorter domain. The domains of a vesicle localization moiety may be determined in relation to membrane of a vesicle and may be described as surface domain (outside of the vesicle; also referred to sometimes as extracellular domain, which is topologically equivalent), transmembrane domain (spanning the lipid bilayer of the vesicle) and lumenal domain (in the interior of the vesicle; also referred to as a cytosolic domain prior to formation of a vesicle, which is topologically equivalent). In an embodiment, the three domains present in a vesicle localization moiety may be swapped with one or more domains from one or more other vesicle localization moiety. In a preferred embodiment, the cytosolic domain or lumenal domain of a vesicle localization moiety is swapped with a cytosolic domain or lumenal domain of a second vesicle localization moiety so as to produce a chimeric vesicle localization moiety with a surface-and-transmembrane domain of a 11 vesicle localization moiety and a cytosolic domain of a 2^(nd) vesicle localization moiety.

Methods for making such fusion proteins and for targeting/localizing fusion proteins to exosomes can be as described, e.g., in Limoni S K, et al. Appl Biochem Biotechnol. 2018 Jun. 28. doi: 10.1007/s12010-018-2813-4.

Nucleic Acids

The production of engineered vesicles can involve generation of nucleic acids that encode, at least, in part, one or more of the cell-type specific or selective targeting moieties described herein, one or more of the targeting moiety(ies) described herein, one or more of the vesicle localization moieties including chimeric vesicle localization moieties described herein, one or more fusion proteins described herein, or a combination thereof.

The disclosure includes vectors. Methods which are well known to those skilled in the art can be used to construct expression vectors containing coding sequences and appropriate transcriptional/translational control signals. Generally, expression vectors include transcriptional and translational regulatory nucleic acid operably linked to the nucleic acid encoding the protein. The term “control sequences” refers to DNA sequences necessary for the expression of an operably linked coding sequence in a particular expression system, e.g. mammalian cell, bacterial cell, cell-free synthesis, etc. The control sequences that are suitable for prokaryote systems, for example, include a promoter, optionally an operator sequence, and a ribosome binding site. Eukaryotic cell systems may utilize promoters, polyadenylation signals, and enhancers.

These methods include, for example, in vitro recombinant DNA techniques, synthetic techniques and in vivo recombination/genetic recombination. Alternatively, RNA capable of encoding the polypeptides of interest may be chemically synthesized. One of skill in the art can readily utilize well-known codon usage tables and synthetic methods to provide a suitable coding sequence for any of the polypeptides of the invention.

In some embodiments, a vector comprises nucleic acids encoding one or more cell-type specific or selective targeting moieties operably linked to nucleic acids that encode one or more vesicle localization moieties, preferably chimeric vesicle localization moieties. A nucleic acid is “operably linked” when it is placed into a functional relationship with another nucleic acid sequence. For example, a promoter or enhancer is operably linked to a coding sequence if it affects the transcription of the sequence; or a ribosome binding site is operably linked to a coding sequence if it is positioned so as to facilitate the initiation of translation. Generally, “operably linked” means that the DNA sequences being linked are contiguous, and, in the case of a secretory leader, contiguous and in reading phase. Linking is accomplished by ligation or through amplification reactions. Synthetic oligonucleotide adaptors or linkers may be used for linking sequences in accordance with conventional practice.

In some embodiments, a vector comprises nucleic acids encoding the amino acid sequences set forth in Table 3 or the figures. In an embodiment, a vector comprises nucleic acids encoding the chimeric vesicle localization moiety produced from the vesicle localization moieties disclosed herein or in Table 3 or the figures. In one example, a vector comprises nucleic acids encoding a chimeric vesicle localization moiety operably linked to nucleic acids encoding any one or more of a targeting moiety(ies) of interest or cell-type specific or selective targeting moieties. In an embodiment, a cell-type specific or selective targeting moiety is a peptide. In an embodiment, a cell-type specific or selective targeting moiety is an antibody or an antibody fragment. In an embodiment, a cell-type specific or selective targeting moiety is a F(ab′)2, Fab or Fab′. In a preferred embodiment, a cell-type specific or selective targeting moiety is a scFv.

The nucleic acids may be natural, synthetic or a combination thereof. The nucleic acids may be RNA, mRNA, DNA or cDNA. Nucleic acid encoding the protein may be produced using known synthetic techniques, incorporated into a suitable expression vector using well established methods to form a protein-encoding expression vector which is introduced into a cell for protein expression using known techniques, such as transfection, lipofection, transduction and electroporation. The nucleic acids may be isolated and obtained in substantial purity. Usually, the nucleic acids, either as DNA or RNA, will be obtained substantially free of other naturally-occurring nucleic acid sequences, generally being at least about 50%, usually at least about 90% pure and are typically “recombinant,” e.g., flanked by one or more nucleotides with which it is not normally associated on a naturally occurring chromosome.

Expression of the nucleic acids can be regulated by their own or by other regulatory sequences known in the art. The nucleic acids of the invention can be introduced into suitable host cells using a variety of techniques available in the art. The expressed protein may localize or form an exosome or extracellular vesicle and released from the producing cell. Such exosomes or extracellular vesicles may be harvested from the culture medium. Similarly, the selected protein may be produced using recombinant techniques, or may be otherwise obtained, and then may be introduced directly into isolated exosomes by electroporation or transfection e.g. electroporation, transfection using cationic lipid-based transfection reagents, and the like.

The nucleic acids can also include expression vectors, such as plasmids, or viral vectors, or linear vectors, or vectors that integrate into chromosomal DNA. Expression vectors can contain a nucleic acid sequence that enables the vector to replicate in one or more selected host cells. Such sequences are well known for a variety of cells. The origin of replication from the plasmid pBR322 is suitable for most Gram-negative bacteria. In eukaryotic host cells, e.g., mammalian cells, the expression vector can be integrated into the host cell chromosome and then replicate with the host chromosome or the expression vector may be an episome and replicate autonomously independent of the host chromosome.

Expression vectors also can contain a selection gene, also termed a selectable marker. The selection gene can encode a protein necessary for the survival or growth of transformed host cells grown in a selective culture medium. Host cells not transformed with the vector containing the selection gene will not survive in the selective culture medium. Selection genes can encode proteins that (a) confer resistance to antibiotics or other toxins, e.g., ampicillin, neomycin, G418, puromycin, hygromycin, methotrexate, or tetracycline, (b) complement auxotrophic deficiencies, or (c) supply critical nutrients not available from complex media, e.g., the gene encoding D-alanine racemase for Bacilli. An exemplary selection scheme can utilize a drug to arrest growth of a host cell. Those cells that are successfully transformed with a heterologous gene can produce a protein conferring drug resistance and thus survive the selection regimen. Other selectable markers for use in bacterial or eukaryotic (including mammalian) systems are well-known in the art.

An example of a promoter that is capable of expressing a transgene in a mammalian nervous system cell is the EF1a promoter. Another example of a promoter is the immediate early cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter sequence. Other constitutive promoter sequences may also be used, including, but not limited to the simian virus 40 (SV40) early promoter, mouse mammary tumor virus promoter (MMTV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) long terminal repeat (LTR) promoter, MoMuLV promoter, phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) promoter, MND promoter (a synthetic promoter that contains the U3 region of a modified MoMuLV LTR with myeloproliferative sarcoma virus enhancer, an avian leukemia virus promoter, an Epstein-Barr virus immediate early promoter, a Rous sarcoma virus promoter, as well as human gene promoters such as, but not limited to, the actin promoter, the myosin promoter, the elongation factor-1a promoter, the hemoglobin promoter, and the creatine kinase promoter. The promoter can be a non-constitutive promoter.

Inducible or repressible promoters are also contemplated for use in this disclosure. Examples of inducible promoters include a metallothionein promoter, a glucocorticoid promoter, a progesterone promoter, a tetracycline promoter, a c-fos promoter, the T-REx system of ThermoFisher which places expression from the human cytomegalovirus immediate-early promoter under the control of tetracycline operator(s), and RheoSwitch promoters of Intrexon.

Expression vectors typically have promoter elements, e.g., enhancers, to regulate the frequency of transcriptional initiation. These can be located in the region 30-110 bp upstream of the start site, although a number of promoters have been shown to contain functional elements downstream of the start site as well. The spacing between promoter elements can frequently be flexible, so that promoter function can be preserved when elements are inverted or moved relative to one another. The expression vector may be a mono-cistronic construct, a bi-cistronic construct or multiple cistronic construct. For a bi-cistronic construct, the two cistrons can be oriented in opposite directions with the control regions for the cistrons located in between the two cistrons. When the construct has more than two cistrons, the cistrons can be arranged in two groups with the two groups oriented in opposite directions for transcription.

It can be desirable to modify the polypeptides described herein. There can be many ways of generating alterations in a given nucleic acid construct to generate variant polypeptides. Such methods can include site-directed mutagenesis, PCR amplification using degenerate oligonucleotides, exposure of cells containing the nucleic acid to mutagenic agents or radiation, chemical synthesis of a desired oligonucleotide (e.g., in conjunction with ligation and/or cloning to generate large nucleic acids) and other techniques (see, e.g., Gillam and Smith, Gene 8:81-97, 1979; Roberts et al., Nature 328:731-734, 1987, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes). The recombinant nucleic acids encoding the polypeptides described herein can be modified to provide preferred codons which can enhance translation of the nucleic acid in a selected organism or cell line.

The polynucleotides can also include nucleotide sequences that are substantially equivalent (homologues) to other polynucleotides described herein. Polynucleotides can have at least about 80%, more typically at least about 90%, and even more typically at least about 95%, sequence identity to another polynucleotide. In an embodiment, a polynucleotide encoding a protein may be considered equivalent to a second polynucleotide encoding the same protein due to degeneracy of the genetic codon. Such polynucleotides are anticipated herein.

The nucleic acids can also provide the complement of the polynucleotides including a nucleotide sequence that has at least about 80%, more typically at least about 90%, and even more typically at least about 95%, sequence identity to a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide recited herein. The polynucleotide can be DNA (genomic, cDNA, amplified, or synthetic) or RNA. Nucleic acids which encode protein analogs or variants (i.e., wherein one or more amino acids are designed to differ from the wild type polypeptide) may be produced using site directed mutagenesis or PCR amplification in which the primer(s) have the desired point mutations. For a detailed description of suitable mutagenesis techniques, see Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. (1989) and/or Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Ausubel et al., eds, Green Publishers Inc. and Wiley and Sons, N.Y (1994), each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes. Chemical synthesis using methods well known in the art, such as that described by Engels et al., Angew Chem Intl Ed 28:716-34, 1989 (which is incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes), may also be used to prepare such nucleic acids.

Amino acid “substitutions” for creating variants can result from replacing one amino acid with another amino acid having similar structural and/or chemical properties, i.e., conservative amino acid replacements. Amino acid substitutions may be made on the basis of similarity in polarity, charge, solubility, hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, and/or the amphipathic nature of the residues involved. For example, nonpolar (hydrophobic) amino acids include alanine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, proline, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and methionine; polar neutral amino acids include glycine, serine, threonine, cysteine, tyrosine, asparagine, and glutamine; positively charged (basic) amino acids include arginine, lysine, and histidine; and negatively charged (acidic) amino acids include aspartic acid and glutamic acid.

When the nucleic acid is introduced into a cell ex vivo, the nucleic acid may be combined with a substance that promotes transference of a nucleic acid into a cell, for example, a reagent for introducing a nucleic acid such as a liposome or a cationic lipid, in addition to any additional excipients. Electroporation applying voltages in the range of about 20-1000 V/cm may be used to introduce nucleic acid or protein into exosomes. Transfection using cationic lipid-based transfection reagents such as, but not limited to, Lipofectamine® MessengerMAX™ Transfection Reagent, Lipofectamine® RNAiMAX Transfection Reagent, Lipofectamine® 3000 Transfection Reagent, or Lipofectamine® LTX Reagent with PLUS™ Reagent, may also be used. The amount of transfection reagent used may vary with the reagent, the sample and the cargo to be introduced. Alternatively, a vector carrying the nucleic acid of the present invention can also be used. Particularly, a composition in a form suitable for administration to a living body which contains the nucleic acid of the present invention carried by a suitable vector can be suitable for in vivo gene therapy.

The nucleic acid constructs can include linker peptides. The linker peptides can adopt a helical, β-strand, coil-bend or turn conformations. The linker motifs can be flexible linkers, rigid linkers or cleavable linkers. The linker peptides can be used for increasing the stability or folding of the peptide, avoid steric clash, increase expression, improve biological activity, enable targeting to specific sites in vivo, or alter the pharmacokinetics of the resulting fusion peptide by increasing the binding affinity of the targeting domain for its receptor. Folding, as used herein, refers to the process of forming the three-dimensional structure of polypeptides and proteins, where interactions between amino acid residues act to stabilize the structure. Non-covalent interactions are important in determining structure, and the effect of membrane contacts with the protein may be important for the correct structure. For naturally occurring proteins and polypeptides or derivatives and variants thereof, the result of proper folding is typically the arrangement that results in optimal biological activity, and can conveniently be monitored by assays for activity, e.g. ligand binding, enzymatic activity, etc.

The linker peptides can generally be composed of small non-polar (Gly) or non-polar (Ser) amino acids. The linker peptides can have sequences consisting primarily of stretches of glycine and/or serine residues. But can contain additional amino acids, such as Thr and Ala to maintain flexibility, as well as polar amino acids, such as Lys and Glu to improve solubility. In other cases, rigid linkers can have a Proline-rich sequence, such as (XP)n, with X designating any amino acid, preferably Ala, Lys or Glu. In other cases, cleavable linkers can be used susceptible to reductive or enzymatic cleavage, such as disulfide or protease sensitive sequences, respectively. In some cases, the linker peptides can be linked to a reporter moiety, such as a fluorescent protein. Examples of linker sequences include but are not limited to, any of (Gly)₈, (Gly)₆, (GS)_(n) (n=1-5), (GGS)_(n) (n=1-5), (GGGS)_(n) (n=1-5), (GGGGS)_(n) (n=1-5), (GGGGGS)_(n) (n=1-5) (EAAAK)_(n) (n=1-3), A(EAAAK)₄ALEA(EAAAK)₄A, (GGGGS)_(n) (n=1-4), (Ala-Pro)_(n) (10-34 aa), cleavable linkers such as VSQTSKLTRAETVFPDV, PLGLWA, RVLAEA; EDVVCCSMSY; GGIEGRGS, TRHRQPRGWE, AGNRVRRSVG, RRRRRRRRR, GLFG, and LE.

The nucleic acid sequence can also contain signal sequences that encode for signal peptides that function as recognition sequences for sorting of the resulting fusion protein to the vesicular surface. The signal sequence can comprise a tyrosine-based sorting signal and can contain the NPXY where N stands for asparagine, P stands for proline, Y stands for tyrosine and X stands for any amino acid (alanine, cysteine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, phenylalanine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, lysine, leucine, methionine, asparagine, proline, glutamine, arginine, serine, threonine, valine, tryptophan or tyrosine). In some cases, the signal sorting motif can comprise a YXXO consensus motif, where O stands for an amino acid residue with a bulky hydrophobic side chain. In some cases, the sorting signal can comprise a (DE)XXXL(LI) consensus motif where D stands for aspartic acid, E stands for glutamic acid, X stands for any amino acid, L stands for leucine and I stands for isoleucine. In some cases, the signal sequence can comprise a di-leucine-based signal sequence motif such as (DE)XXXL(LI) or DXXLL consensus motifs, where D stands for aspartic acid, E stands for glutamic acid, X stands for any amino acid, L stands for leucine and I stands for isoleucine. In some cases, the signal peptic can comprise an acidic cluster. In some cases, the signal peptide can comprise a FW-rich consensus motif, where F stands for phenylalanine and W stands for tryptophan. In some cases, the signal peptide can comprise a proline-rich domain. In some cases, the sorting signal comprises the consensus motif NPFX (1,2) D, where N stands for asparagine, P stands for proline, F stands for phenylalanine, D stands for aspartic acid and X stands for any amino acids. In some cases, the encoded signal peptides can be recognized by adaptor protein complexes AP-1, AP-2, AP-3 and AP-4. In some cases, the DXXLL signals are recognized by another family of adaptors known as GGAs. In some cases, the signal peptides can be ubiquitinated. In an embodiment of the invention, the signal peptide is an immunoglobulin i-chain signal peptide sequence, METDTLLLWVLLLWVPGSTGD. In another embodiment, the signal peptide is a human signal sequence. In a preferred embodiment, the signal peptide is a computationally designed signal peptide. In a preferred embodiment, the signal peptide sequence is MWWRLWWLLLLLLLLWPMVWA.

Production of Extracellular Vesicles

Any of the nucleic acids herein can be used for heterologous expression in a cell of a fusion protein comprising one or more chimeric vesicle localization moiety and one or more targeting moiety of interest, wherein the fusion protein localizes or is an integral part of an extracellular vesicle produced by the cell. In an embodiment, the vesicle is an extracellular vesicle or an exosome. Additionally, one or more nucleic acid encoding a chimeric vesicle localization moieties and one or more nucleic acid encoding a targeting moieties of interest can be used for heterologous expression in a cell to produce operably linked one or more chimeric vesicle localization moieties and one or more targeting moieties of interest wherein a targeting moiety associates with a chimeric vesicle localization moiety by non-covalent interaction through interacting partners or surfaces inherently present in or covalently attached to the targeting moiety of interest or chimeric vesicle localization moiety and wherein both the targeting moiety of interest and the chimeric vesicle localization are present at or associate with a vesicle, preferably an extracellular vesicle or exosome, produced by the cell.

Common GMP-grade cells used in such heterologous expression and from which vesicles may be isolated, including extracellular vesicles and exosomes, include HEK293 (human embryonic kidneycell line), variants of HEK293, such as HEK293T, HEK 293-F, HEK 293T, and HEK 293-H, dendritic cells, mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs), HT-1080, PER.C6, HeLa, C127, BHK, Sp2/0, NS0 and any variants thereof, and any of the following types of allogeneic stem cell lines: Hematopoietic Stem Cells, such as bone marrow HSC, Mesenchymal Stem Cells, such as bone marrow MSC or placenta MSC, human Embryonic Stem Cells or its more differentiated progeny, such as hESC-derived dendritic cell or hESC-derived oligodendrocyte progenitor cell, Neural Stem Cells (NSCs), endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), or induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs). In an embodiment, any of the cells used for heterologous expression may serve as a source for vesicles, especially extracellular vesicles comprising one or more chimeric vesicle localization moiety(ies) operably linked to one or more targeting moiety(ies) of interest. In a preferred embodiment, any of the cell used for heterologous expression may serve as a source for vesicles, especially extracellular vesicles comprising one or more chimeric vesicle localization moieties covalently linked to one or more targeting moieties of interest or a fusion protein comprising one or more chimeric vesicle localization moieties and to one or more targeting moieties of interest.

Any of the polypeptides herein can be produced by a cell (or cell line) generating vesicles which contain the polypeptide. Alternatively, the targeting moiety can be heterologously expressed by the cell producing the vesicle. In an embodiment, the cell producing the vesicle expresses a chimeric vesicle localization moiety and a targeting moiety wherein the targeting moiety associates with the chimeric vesicle localization moiety by a non-covalent linkage and wherein both the targeting moiety and the chimeric vesicle localization moiety associate with the vesicle. In an embodiment, the targeting moiety is displayed on the external surface or outside the vesicle. In an embodiment, the non-covalent linkage of a targeting moiety and a chimeric vesicle localization is mediated by interacting surfaces or partners between a polypeptide comprising the targeting moiety and a 2^(nd) polypeptide comprising the chimeric vesicle localization moiety. Such interacting surfaces or partners may be inherently present on or is introduced to the polypeptide comprising the targeting moiety and the 2^(nd) polypeptide comprising the chimeric vesicle localization moiety. Molecular forces maintaining non-covalent linkages or interactions include hydrogen bond, ionic bond, van der Waals interaction and hydrophobic bond.

In a preferred embodiment, the cell producing the vesicle also expresses a fusion protein comprising a chimeric vesicle localization moiety and a targeting moiety, which are covalently linked in a single polypeptide incorporated into a vesicle, preferably an extracellular vesicle or exosome, produced by the cell. In an embodiment, an extracellular vesicle or exosome producing cell may be considered a producer cell (for an EV or exosome). In an embodiment, more than one targeting moieties may be attached to a single chimeric vesicle localization moiety. In a separate embodiment, more than one type of chimeric vesicle localization moiety covalently linked to one or more targeting moieties may be present at or are associated with a vesicle, wherein each type of chimeric vesicle localization moiety differs by at least one amino acid. In an embodiment, the targeting moiety is coupled to the vesicle by the producing cell, during vesicle biogenesis or prior to vesicle secretion or isolation. In a different embodiment, the targeting moiety is coupled to the vesicle after the vesicles are produced and/or isolated.

Modified extracellular vesicles can be obtained from a subject, from primary cell culture cells obtained from a subject, from cell lines (e.g., immortalized cell lines), and other cell sources. One can make modified extracellular vesicles with specific markers in several ways. One such method includes engineering cells directly in culture to express targeting moieties that are then incorporated into the modified extracellular vesicles harvested as delivery vehicles from these engineered cells. Cells which are used for modified extracellular vesicle production are not necessarily related to or derived from the cell targets of interest. Once derived, vesicles may be isolated based on their size, biochemical parameters, or a combination thereof. Another method that can be used in conjunction with or independent of the direct cell engineering is physical isolation of particular subpopulations (subtypes) of modified vesicles with desired targeting moieties from the broad, general set of all vesicles produced by a subject. Another method that can be used in conjunction with the previously described two methods or independently is direct incorporation of desired targeting moieties (e.g., proteins/polypeptides) on the vesicles surface. In this method, a general population of extracellular vesicles or a specific population of extracellular vesicles are isolated from cell culture. The isolated vesicles are then treated to incorporate desired targeting moieties into the vesicles (e.g., liposomal fusion) to generate modified vesicles. It is noted that these methods can be combined in different ways.

For example, the process can be direct engineering of cells for modified vesicles production followed by isolating target modified vesicles subpopulation.

-   -   1. Example of engineering cells to produce desired modified         vesicles. Vesicle producing cells can be transfected with         nucleic acids such as a plasmid or virus carrying nucleic acids         encoding the targeting moiety or moieties. The experimental         steps can be as the following:         -   a. Culture producer cell line in its optimal growth             conditions.         -   b. Prepare the plasmid or virus vector carrying a nucleic             acid encoding the targeting moiety or moieties. The nucleic             acid encoding the targeting moiety or moieties can be linked             with a nucleic acid encoding a vesicle localization moiety,             such as known exosomal surface protein (such as LAMP2), or a             chimeric vesicle localization moiety (such as, for example,             surface-and-transmembrane domains of LAMP2 and cytosolic             domain of LAMP2 replaced with a cytosolic domain of a             different vesicle localization moiety, such as CLSTN1) to             make a fusion protein comprising a vesicle localization             moiety or a chimeric vesicle localization moiety and a             targeting moiety or moieties.         -   c. Transfect the vesicle producing cell lines by the             construct made in (b). The transfection can be performed in             various ways, such as electroporation or liposome-based             nucleic acid transfer. The transfection can be transient or             stable transfection. For establishing a stable target             protein (targeting moiety) expressing EV producing cell             lines, integration of target sequence into the recipient             cell genome may be needed. In a preferred embodiment, a             stable fusion protein-expressing, EV-producing cell line is             established wherein a nucleic acid encoding and expressing a             fusion protein comprising one or more targeting moieties of             interest and one or more vesicle localization moieties,             preferably one or more chimeric vesicle localization             moieties, is integrated into the recipient cell genome, so             as to express the fusion protein(s) which are incorporated             into EVs and display one or more targeting moieties of             interest.         -   d. The transfected cell culture is then grown in chemically             defined media without FBS for further exosome collection.             Alternatively, the transfected cell culture can be seeded             into a bioreactor for exosome production.         -   e. Collect the conditioned media after a certain period of             time (e.g., 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days) from regular             flask or dish culture or bioreactor culture.         -   f. Isolate modified vesicles from conditioned media.             Exosomes may be obtained from the appropriate biological             sample using any protocol that yields exosomes useful for             therapeutic use, e.g., sufficiently pure, intact exosomes             with good stability. The isolation methods can include but             are not limited to ultracentrifugation, ultrafiltration,             polymer-based pulldown, or immunoaffinity-based pulldown. An             antibody, ligand, receptor, and/or aptamer complementary to             the desired EV targeting moiety(s) can be linked to             immunomagnetic beads or rods for binding to target EV             subpopulation and subsequent isolation. Alternatively, other             immune enrichment/isolation techniques can be used. Examples             of immunoaffinity capture techniques that may be used to             capture exosomes using a selected antibody cocktail include,             but are not limited to, immunoprecipitation, column affinity             chromatography, magnetic-activated cell sorting,             fluorescence-activated cell sorting, adhesion-based sorting             and microfluidic-based sorting. The antibodies in the             antibody cocktail may be utilized together, in a single             solution, or two or more solutions that are used             simultaneously or consecutively.     -   2. Example of engineering vesieles with peptide targeting         moieties (including for example an affinity peptide or any of         the peptide targeting moieties described herein) on the surface.         -   a. Obtain a suitable expression vector, such as a mammalian             expression vector, comprising selectable marker(s), such as             puromycin resistance and/or a fluorescent protein.         -   b. Clone a nucleic acid encoding a fusion protein comprising             an amino terminal signal sequence, a peptide targeting             moiety (such as an affinity peptide and/or any of the             peptide targeting moieties described herein) and a vesicle             localization moiety (preferably a chimeric vesicle             localization moiety) and additionally comprising an epitope             tag and linkers into the expression vector, wherein the             nucleic acid is placed under the control of the             promoter/enhancer of the expression vector. Examples of             fusion protein could be any of the fusion proteins             diagrammatically presented in FIGS. 1 and 2 with amino acid             sequence provided in subsequent figures.         -   c. Optionally, the expression vector may be a viral vector,             in which case the resulting expression vector of (b) may be             used to produce viral particles, following standard             protocol.         -   d. Transfect (or infect if viral particles) a vesicle             producing cell line with the expression vector now             comprising the nucleic acid encoding the fusion protein of             (b). The transfection can be performed in various ways, such             as electroporation or liposome-based nucleic acid transfer.             The transfection can be transient or stable transfection.             For establishing a stable target protein (marker) expressing             EV producing cell lines, integration of target sequence into             the recipient cell genome may be needed.         -   e. The transfected cell culture is then grown on complete             media with exosome-depleted FBS for further exosome             collection. Alternatively, the transfected cell culture can             be seeded into a bioreactor for exosome production.         -   f. Collect the conditioned media after a certain period of             time (e.g., 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days) from regular             flask or dish culture or bioreactor culture.         -   g. Isolate modified vesicles from conditioned media using             any technique known in the art or described herein.     -   3. Example of physical isolation of a specific EV subpopulation         from a general vesicle population from a cell culture. This         method can be combined with the method above or used as a         stand-alone method on a non-engineered cell line. The vesicle         subpopulation carrying a marker of interest can be isolated from         a parental population. Preferably, the marker of interest is         displayed on the surface of the vesicle, preferably an         extracellular vesicle or exosome. The experimental steps can be         the following:         -   a. Culture a vesicle producing cell line under its growth             conditions with chemically defined media or in chemically             defined media, free of FBS. Alternatively, the vesicle             producing cell line can be seeded into a bioreactor for             exosome production.         -   b. Collect the conditioned media after a certain period of             time (e.g., 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days) from regular             flask or dish culture or a bioreactor culture.         -   c. Isolate vesicles from the conditioned media. The             isolation methods can include, but are not limited to,             ultracentrifugation, ultrafiltration, polymer-based             pulldown, or immunoaffinity-based pulldown.         -   d. Isolate modified vesicle subpopulations from parental EV             populations using immunoaffinity-based pulldown. An             antibody, ligand, receptor, and/or aptamer complementary to             the desired EV marker(s) can be linked to immunomagnetic             beads or rods for binding to target EV subpopulation and             subsequent isolation. Alternatively, other immune             enrichment/isolation techniques can be used.     -   4. Example of direct incorporation of the desired targeting         moiety or moieties on the vesicle surface. A parental vesicle or         vesicle subpopulation produced from regular flask/dish culture         or bioreactor culture of transfected cells or non-transfected         cells can be directly incorporated with the desired selective         markers on the surface. In a preferred embodiment, the targeting         moiety or moieties are covalently linked to a vesicle         localization moiety, preferably a chimeric vesicle localization         moiety of the invention. In a further embodiment, the fusion         protein comprising the targeting moiety or moieties and a         vesicle localization moiety, preferably a chimeric vesicle         localization moiety, lacks a signal sequence. In an embodiment,         the fusion protein comprising the targeting moiety or moieties         and a chimeric vesicle localization moiety may be any of         disclosed herein, but preferably, lacking a signal peptide. The         experimental steps can be the following:         -   a. Purify vesicles and exchange vesicles into a suitable             buffer for electroporation.         -   b. The binding of proteins or polypeptides on the vesicle             surface can be achieved by:             -   i. Electroporation of the vesicle with desired selective                 targeting moieties. The controlled electric pulse                 permeabilizes areas on the vesicle surface membrane for                 insertion/incorporation of desired selective targeting                 moieties.             -   ii. The vesicle can also fuse with a particular liposome                 (or lipid/protein complex) carrying the desired                 selective targeting moieties on its surface. Via the                 fusion, the selective targeting moieties will then                 effectively be on the surface of the liposome-modified                 vesicle complex. See Sato et al., Sci. Reports 6:21933,                 DOI: 10.1038/srep21933 (2016), which is incorporated by                 reference in its entirety for all purposes. The vesicle                 can also be fused with an adeno-associated virus (AAV).             -   i. The vesicle can be incorporated with the targeting                 moieties directly by mixing the vesicle with the                 targeting moieties in a buffer of MES and NaCl in an                 Amicon® tube, wherein the targeting moieties can bind to                 proteins on the surface of the vesicle. The Amicon® tube                 can then be spun down to remove free-floating peptide.

The modified vesicles can be incorporated with the targeting moieties directly with or without cholesterol or other phospholipids. The modified vesicle protein mixture can be created via gentle mixing and incubation or several cycles of freezing and thawing.

The modified vesicles can be derived from eukaryotic cells that can be obtained from a subject (autologous) or from allogeneic cell lines. The subject may be any living organism. Examples of subjects include humans, dogs, cats, mice, rats, and transgenic species thereof. Vesicles can be concentrated and separated from the circulatory cells using centrifugation, filtration, or affinity chromatography columns.

Payloads

The modified vesicle system described herein, for example modified vesicles such as exosomes, can be used to deliver payloads to target cells. In some instances, the payload is embedded in the vesicle, e.g., the lipid bilayer. Alternatively, or additionally, the payload can be surrounded by the vesicle or lipid bilayer.

As described above, targeting moieties on the modified vesicles traffic the modified vesicles in the body to target cells, and the targeting moieties are also involved in target cell recognition and interaction. Modified vesicles with these targeting moieties of interest can also be associated with or fused with other delivery vehicles, such as liposomes or adeno-associated viral vectors to enhance delivery to target cell. See György, Bence, et al. Biomaterials 35 (2014)26:7598-7609. Modified vesicles can carry a payload that is to be delivered to the target cell.

A payload can be, for example, a small molecule, polypeptide, nucleic acid, lipid, carbohydrate, ligand, receptor, reporter, drug, or combination of the foregoing (e.g., two or more drugs, or one or more drugs combined with a lipid, etc.). Examples of payloads, include, for example therapeutic biologics (e.g., antibodies, recombinant proteins, or monoclonal antibodies), RNA (siRNA, shRNA, miRNA, antisense RNA, mRNA, noncoding RNA, tRNA, rRNA, other RNAs), reporters, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acid constructs (e.g., viral vectors, plasmids, lentivirus, expression constructs, other constructs), oligonucleotides, aptamers, cytotoxic agents, anti-inflammatory agents, antigenic peptides, small molecules, and nucleic acids and polypeptides for gene therapy. Payloads can also be complex molecular structures such as viral nucleic acid constructs (encoding transgenes) with accessory proteins for delivery to target cells where the nucleic acid construct can be (if needed) reverse transcribed, delivered to the nucleus, and integrated (or maintained extrachromosomally). Optionally, the construct with a desired transgene(s) can be specifically targeted to a site in the chromosome of the target cell using CRISPR/CAS and appropriate guide RNAs. Payloads may be loaded into the extracellular vesicle internal membrane space, displayed on, or partially or fully embedded in the lipid bi-layer surface of the extracellular vesicle.

Examples of pharmaceutical and biologic payloads include drugs for treating organ diseases and syndromes, cytotoxic agents, and anti-inflammatory drugs. In some cases, the payloads can be fenretinide, Doxorubicin, Mertansine (i.e. DM1) or imatinib (i.e. Gleevec, STI-571) or any combination thereof.

Examples of RNA payloads include siRNAs, miRNAs, shRNA, antisense RNAs, small nuclear RNA (snRNA), small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA), long intergenic noncoding RNA (lincRNA), piwi interacting RNA (piRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), tRNA, and rRNA. Examples of noncoding RNA payloads include microRNA (miRNA), long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), small nuclear RNA (snRNA), small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA), long intergenic non-coding RNA (lincRNA), piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), yRNA and transfer RNA (tRNA). miRNAs and lncRNAs in particular are powerful regulators of homeostasis and cell signaling pathways, and delivery of such RNAs by an EV can impact the target cell.

Treatment payloads carried by the modified vesicles can include, for example nucleic acids such as miRNAs, mRNAs, siRNAs, anti-sense oligonucleotides (ASOs), DNA aptamers, CRISPR/Cas9 therapies that inhibit oncogenes, Cytotoxic transgene therapy to induce conditional toxicity, splice switching oligonucleotides or transgenes encoding toxic proteins. In some examples, the payload can be a nucleic acid payload listed in Table 4.

In some cases, a payload can be a reporter moiety. Reporters are moieties capable of being detected indirectly or directly. Reporters include, without limitation, a chromophore, a fluorophore, a fluorescent protein, a luminescent protein, a receptor, a hapten, an enzyme, and a radioisotope.

Examples of reporters include one or more of a fluorescent reporter, a bioluminescent reporter, an enzyme, and an ion channel. Examples of fluorescent reporters include, for example, green fluorescent protein from Aequorea victoria or Renilla reniformis, and active variants thereof (e.g., blue fluorescent protein, yellow fluorescent protein, cyan fluorescent protein, etc.); fluorescent proteins from Hydroid jellyfishes, Copepod, Ctenophora, Anthrozoas, and Entacmaea quadricolor, and active variants thereof; and phycobiliproteins and active variants thereof. Chemiluminescent reporters include, for example, placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) and secreted placental alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) based on small molecule substrates such as CPSD (Disodium 3-(4-methoxyspiro {1,2-dioxetane-3,2′-(5′-chloro)tricyclo [3.3.1.13,7]decan}-4-yl)phenyl phosphate, p3-galactosidase based on 1,2-dioxetane substrates, neuraminidase based on NA-Star® substrate, all of which are commercially available from ThermoFisher Scientific. Bioluminescent reporters include, for example, aequorin (and other Ca+2 regulated photoproteins), luciferase based on luciferin substrate, luciferase based on Coelenterazine substrate (e.g., Renilla, Gaussia, and Metridina), and luciferase from Cypridina, and active variants thereof. In some embodiments, the bioluminescent reporters include, for example, North American firefly luciferase, Japanese firefly luciferase, Italian firefly luciferase, East European firefly luciferase, Pennsylvania firefly luciferase, Click beetle luciferase, railroad worm luciferase, Renilla luciferase, Gaussia luciferase, Cypridina luciferase, Metrida luciferase, OLuc, and red firefly luciferase, all of which are commercially available from ThermoFisher Scientific and/or Promega. Enzyme reporters include, for example, β-galactosidase, chloramphenicol acetyltransferase, horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, acetyleholinesterase, and catalase. Ion channel reporters, include, for example, cAMP activated cation channels. The reporter or reporters may also include a Positron Emission Tunography (PET) reporter, a Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) reporter, a photoacoustic reporter, an X-ray reporter, and an ultrasound reporter.

Nucleic acid payloads can be oligonucleotides, recombinant polynucleotides, DNA, RNA, or otherwise synthetic nucleic acids. The nucleic acids can cause splice switching of RNAs in the target cell, turn off aberrant gene expression in the target cell, replace aberrant (mutated) genes in the chromosome of the target cell with genes encoding a desired sequence. The replacement nucleic acids can be an entire transgene or can be short segments of the mutated/aberrant gene that replaces the mutated sequence with a desired sequence (e.g., a wild-type sequence). Alternatively, the nucleic acid payloads can alter a wild-type gene sequence in the target cell to a desired sequence to produce a desired result. The payload nucleic acids can also introduce a transgene into the target cell that is not normally expressed. The payload nucleic acids can also cause desired deletions of nucleic acids from the genome of the target cell.

Appropriate genome editing systems can be used with the payload nucleic acids such as CRISPR, TALEN, or Zinc-Finger nucleases. The efficiency of homologous and non-homologous recombination can be facilitated by genome editing technologies that introduce targeted double-stranded breaks (DSB). Examples of DSB-generating technologies are CRISPR/Cas9, TALEN, Zinc-Finger Nuclease, or equivalent systems. See, Cong et al. Science 339.6121 (2013): 819-823, Li et al. Nucleic Acids Res. (2011); Gaj et al. Trends in Biotechnology 31.7 (2013): 397-405, all of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes. Payload nucleic acids can be integrated into desired sites in the genome (e.g., to repair or replace nucleic acids in the chromosome of the target cell), or transgenes can be integrated at desired sites in the genome including, for example, genomic safe harbor site, such as, for example, the CCR5, AAVS1, human ROSA26, or PSIP1 loci.

Introducing Payloads

Payloads can be incorporated into vesicles through several methods involving physical manipulation. Physical manipulation methods include but are not limited to, electroporation, sonication, mechanical vibration, extrusion through porous membranes, electric current and combinations thereof, which cause disruption of vesicle membrane. Loading of cargo to vesicles described herein may involve passive loading processes such as mixing, co-incubation, or active loading processes such as electroporation, sonication, mechanical vibration, extrusion through porous membranes, electric current and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, said loading can be done concomitantly with vesicle assembly.

Payloads of interest can be passively loaded into vesicles by incubation with payloads to allow diffusion into the vesicles along the concentration gradient. The hydrophobicity of the drug molecules can affect the loading efficiency. Hydrophobic drugs can interact with the lipid layers of the vesicle membrane and enable stable packaging of the drug in the vesicle's lipid bilayer. In some embodiments, purified exosome solution suspended in buffer solution can be incubated with payload. In some preferred embodiments, the payload is dissolved in a solvent mixture that can include DMSO, to allow passive diffusion into exosomes. Following this, the payload-exosomes mixture is made free from un-encapsulated payload. In preferred embodiments, centrifugation or size-exclusion columns are used to remove precipitates from the supernatant. LC/MS methods can be used for the measurement and characterization of payload in the exosome-payload formulation, following lysis and removal of the exosome fraction.

Nucleic acids of interest can be incubated with purified exosomes to allow transfection of purified exosomes in the presence of a suitable lipid-based transfection reagent. Centrifugation can be used to purify the suspension and isolate the transfected exosome population. Transfected exosomes can then be added to target cells or used in vivo.

Payload can be diffused into cells by incubation with cells that then produce exosomes that carry the payload. For example, cells treated with a drug can secrete exosomes loaded with the drug. In a previous example, Pascucci et al., have treated SR4987 mesenchymal stroma cells with a low dose of paclitaxel for 24 h, then washed the cells and reseeded them in a new flask with fresh medium. After 48 h of culture, the cell conditioned medium was collected, and exosomes were isolated. The paclitaxel-loaded exosomes from the treated cells had significant, strong anti-proliferative activities against CFPAC-1 human pancreatic cells in vitro, as compared with the exosomes from untreated cells (Pascucci, L. et al., Journal of Controlled Release, 192 (2014): 262-270.

Extracellular vesicles secreted from cells can be mixed with payloads and subsequently sonicated by using a homogenizer probe. The mechanical shear force from the sonicator probe can compromise the membrane integrity of the exosomes and subsequently allow the drug to diffuse into the exosomes during this membrane deformation, especially, a hydrophilic drug.

In another embodiment, extracellular vesicles from cells can be mixed with a payload, and the mixture can be loaded into a syringe-based lipid extruder with 100-400 nm porous membranes under a controlled temperature. The exosome membrane can be disrupted during the extrusion process can allow vigorous mixing with the drug. In some examples, the number of effective extrusions can vary from 1-10 to effectively deliver drugs into exosomes.

Payload of interest can be incubated with exosomes at room temperature for a fixed amount of time. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles are then performed to ensure drug encapsulation. The method can result in a broad distribution of size ranges for the resulting exosomes, and then, the mixture is rapidly frozen at −80° C. or in liquid nitrogen and thawed at room temperature. The number of effective freeze-thaw cycle may vary from 2-7 for effective encapsulation. In another embodiment, membrane fusion between exosomes and liposomes can be initiated through freeze-thaw cycles to create exosome-mimetic particles.

In another cases, small pores can be created in exosomes membrane through application of an electrical field to exosomes suspended in a conductive solution. The phospholipid bilayer of the exosomes can be disturbed by the electrical current. Payloads can subsequently diffuse into the interior of the exosomes via the pores. The integrity of the exosome membrane can then be recovered after the drug loading process. In some examples, nucleic acids, e.g., mRNA, siRNA or miRNA can be loaded into exosomes using this method.

In some cases, electroporation can be conducted in an optimized buffer such as trehalose disaccharide to aid in maintaining structural integrity and can inhibit the aggregation of exosomes.

Membrane permeabilization can be initiated through incubation with surfactants, such as, saponin. In some examples, hydrophilic molecules can be assisted in exosome encapsulation by this process.

Chemistry based approaches can also be used to directly attach molecules to the surfaces of exosomes via covalent bonds. In some examples, copper-catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition can be used for the bioconjugation of small molecules and macromolecules to the surfaces of exosomes as shown in Wang et al., 2015 and Hood et al., 2016—the references incorporated in their entirety.

In another embodiment, fluorophores and microbeads conjugated to highly specific antibodies can bind a particular antigen on the cell surface. Specific antigen-conjugated microbeads can be used for exosome isolation and tracking in vivo.

The inventions disclosed herein will be better understood from the experimental details which follow. However, one skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the specific methods and results discussed are merely illustrative of the inventions as described more fully in the claims which follow thereafter. Unless otherwise indicated, the disclosure is not limited to specific procedures, materials, or the like, as such may vary. It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting.

Examples Example 1: Extracellular Vesicle (EV) Production and Isolation

HEK293F cells were maintained in serum-free media suspension cultures in shake flasks. Upon reaching a culture density of 2×10⁶ cells/mL, each shake flask culture was transfected with individual plasmids corresponding to vector constructs provided in FIGS. 1-2 to produce the fusion proteins with the amino acid sequence provided in FIGS. 3-8 or Table 3, using PEI (MW: 25,000-1 mg/mL). Transfection reagent mixture was prepared in labeled tubes in 10% of the final desired culture volume of Opti-MEM® Reduced Serum Medium with 1 μg of DNA for every 1 mL of final culture volume and a 2:1 ratio of PEI to DNA, so 2 μg of PEI for every 1 mL of final culture volume. For example, for a 30 mL final culture volume, 3.0 mL of Opti-MEM medium is added to 15-mL tube with 30 μg DNA and vortexed gently. 60 μL PEI (at 1 mg/mL) is added to each 15-mL tube with DNA+medium. Mixture is immediately vortexed 3×, 3s each after PEI addition. The mixture is incubated for 15 min at room temperature and then immediately added to the respective flasks. The incubator is set at 37° C. with 8% CO₂ on shaking platform at 125 RPM.

24 hours after transfection, the transfection media was exchanged for fresh media, and the cells were grown for an additional 96 hours. 96 hours following media exchange, the cultures were transferred into 50-mL conical tubes and centrifuged at 3,220×g for 30 min. The supernatant from these cultures were transferred to Amicon® Centrifugal Filter Units (100 kDa cut-off), concentrated and buffer exchanged into PBS. EVs are then filtered using Capto™ Core700 (Cytiva) Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) resin to remove non-EV-associated protein. Finally, the EVs are sterile filtered, using a 0.22 μM centrifugal filter column unit.

Other suitable cell lines that may be used to produce EVs or modified EVs include HEK293 or its variants, HEK293-F (Cellosaurus), FreeStyle™ 293-F (ThermoFisher) PER.C6, CHO-K1 or Hs 235.Sk (ATCC® CRL-7201™). In addition, transient transfection method describe above, stable cell lines may be created by co-transfecting an expression vector for a chimeric vesicle localization moiety or a fusion protein comprising a chimeric versicle localization moiety, such as a targeting moiety-chimeric vesicle localization moiety fusion protein, and a selectable marker, such as a drug selectable marker, and selecting for the selectable marker to obtain a double transfectant which expresses both the selectable marker as well as the chimeric vesicle localization moiety or fusion protein of interest. EVs may be harvested from the culture media of such stable transfectants, wherein EVs may be modified with the chimeric vesicle localization moiety or fusion protein of interest.

Example 2: Preparation of Vesicles with Targeting Moieties

A cassette is made for cloning nucleic acids encoding one or more targeting moieties of interest. The cassette includes a polynucleotide encoding the LAMP2 or CLSTN1 vesicle localization moiety or a chimeric vesicle localization moiety (e.g., LAMP2 surface-and-transmembrane domains linked in frame to CLSTN1 cytosolic domain in the order as is naturally found for parental vesicle localization moieties, namely surface-transmembrane-cytosolic domains) for display on exosomes, a polynucleotide encoding a N-terminal signal sequence for membrane insertion (e.g., insertion into the endoplasmic reticulum), and optionally, a polynucleotide encoding an epitope tag, a glycosylation sequence and linker sequences, the latter to separate functional sequences when desired, such as, for example, a linker sequence between a vesicle localization moiety or a chimeric vesicle localization moiety and a glycosylation sequence and/or a linker between a glycosylation sequence and epitope or signal sequence. A polynucleotide encoding a targeting moiety of interest is cloned into the cassette such that the open reading frame of the targeting moiety is linked in frame to the open reading frame of the signal sequence and the vesicle localization domain or chimeric vesicle localization domain, and optionally, an epitope tag, a glycosylation sequence and linker sequences, so as to produce a single open reading frame for a fusion protein comprising the signal sequence, targeting moiety of interest, vesicle localization domain or chimeric vesicle localization domain, and optionally, an epitope tag, a glycosylation sequence and linker sequences.

A targeting moiety of interest may be an affinity peptide or an scFv antibody and may be directed to a particular cell type or tissue through the affinity peptide or scFv antibody. The nucleic acid for the fusion protein is inserted in an expression vector to permit expression of the fusion protein either constitutively or inducibly. The expression vector preferably comprises a selectable or detectable marker, such as drug resistance gene (e.g., puromycine or G418) or a gene for a fluorescent protein (e.g., GFP and its variants). Exemplary fusion proteins comprising a targeting moiety of interest and a vesicle localization domain or chimeric vesicle localization domain may be seen in the figures.

A cell line, such as HEK293 or its variants, HEK293-F (Cellosaurus), FreeStyle™ 293-F (ThermoFisher) PER.C6, CHO-K1 or Hs 235.Sk (ATCC® CRL-7201™, is transfected with vectors including the cassette with a desired marker. Positive transfectants are obtained by flow cytometry or other cell sorting methods. In other cases, positive transfectants are enriched through antibiotic selection. Transfected cells are grown in exosome depleted or chemically defined media, suitable for exosome isolation. Following a period of culture, EVs are isolated from the conditioned media.

Any cells in the conditioned media are cleared by centrifugation and filtration, and the EVs in the clarified media are concentrated using ultrafiltration. After concentration the exosomes are isolated using liquid chromatography using an appropriate column (e.g., Sephacryl S-300, Capto-Core 700, etc.)

Example 3: Protocol for Labeling EVs Chemically with Fluorescent Dye for In Vivo Uptake Study and Characterizing/Marking EVs for Quantitative Analysis

Extracellular vesicles labeled with a fluorescent dye or fluorescent protein permit tracking EVs in solution and cellular uptake of EVs, the latter resulting in transfer of the fluorescent dye or fluorescent protein to a cell indicating EV uptake by the cell. Such labeled EVs are useful in assessing effectiveness of a targeting moiety on surface of an EV to preferentially target one cell type over another.

Bodipy labeling of EVs:

-   -   1. Bodipy-TR Ceramide preparation. Resuspend lyophilized         BODIPY-TR Ceramide (250 ug, 705.7085 Daltons) in 354.2539 uL         DMSO to a final stock concentration of 1 mM.     -   2. Bodipy labeling:         -   a. Add PBS to EV isolated to bring final volume of each             sample up to 1 mL.         -   b. Add 20 μL of the stock Bodipy solution (1 mM) to 1 mL EV             sample and mix. The final dye concentration in the EV sample             is 20 μM.         -   c. Incubate at 37° C. for 1 hr (protected from light).     -   3. Free Bodipy clean up from the EV sample:         -   a. At the end of incubation, filter the BodipyEV through a             0.22 um 33 mm PES PBS pre-cleaned Milex filter.         -   b. Pipet BODIPY-EV solution into pre-cleaned (1× sterile PBS             wash) Amicon 4 100 kDa.         -   c. Perform 3× buffer exchange (3000 g for 7 minutes).             Caution: Do not overspin because this will dry the membrane             and products, causing additional loss.         -   d. Add sterile PBS to the collection chamber to bring up             volume to 0.5 mL.         -   e. Use P200 to gently wash product off membrane pipet out             the solution.         -   f. Filter the BodiyEV sample through a 0.22 um 33 mm PES             Millex filter.     -   4. BodipyEV characterization:         -   a. Analyze the efficiency of EV labeling via absorption             spectra measurement         -   b. Analyze the particle concentration via NTA measurement         -   c. Store the EVs in the dark at 4° C.

As an alternative to the labeling of EVs by chemical dyes, EVs may be labeled through the use of a fluorescent protein fusion, such as green fluorescent protein (GFP) and its variants, or protein reporters. This alternative method often involves creation of fusion proteins to generate a vesicle localization moiety-protein reporter gene constructs and cellular expression of these fusion proteins to obtain exosomes.

Example 4: Protocol for Fluorescent-Based Analysis of EV Uptake by Skeletal Muscle Cell

To determine EV target specificity, targeting EVs (TEV) are prepared in which the targeting EVs comprise a targeting moiety displayed on the external surface of fluorescently labeled EVs and exposed to a cell co-culture comprising two different cell types one of which is labeled with a 2^(nd) fluorescent dye and expresses a cell marker targeted by the targeting moiety. Cell-based in vitro uptake assay is used to assess EV comprising a targeting moiety of interest (a targeting EV or TEV) to target a cell type or tissue. A skeletal muscle cell line labeled with a fluorescent dye and containing a skeletal muscle target protein (i.e., a skeletal muscle marker protein) and a negative cell line not containing the skeletal muscle cell target are co-cultured. Cell viability is confirmed to be >95% after 24 hours, and confluency between 40-90%, to confirm that both cell types in co-culture are representative of their functional capabilities in standalone monoculture. The co-culture is then “dosed” with EVs for an indicated period. The EVs have been engineered with a targeting motif that targets the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor found in skeletal muscle, such as an scFv for the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor or ⅗ α-conotoxin and derivatives targeting nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (see for example Tsetlin, V. and Kasheverov, I. (2014) Peptide and Protein Neurotoxin Toolbox in Research on Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors. In T. Heinbockel (Ed.), Neurochemistry, IntechOpen, DOI: 10.5772/58240; and Lebbe, E. K. M. et al. (2014) Conotoxins Targeting Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors: An Overview. Mar. Drugs 12:2970-3004; and McIntosh, J. et al. (1999) Conus Peptides Targeted to Specific Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subtypes. Ann. Rev. Biochem. 68:59-88); this receptor is only present on the skeletal muscle cell line, but not the negative cell line. Cell uptake is assessed by labeling the EVs before dosing with a fluorescent dye, and then measuring fluorescence via flow cytometry, which also simultaneously permits distinguishing the labeled skeletal muscle cell from the negative cell line.

1. Preparation of Cell Co-culture (24 hrs before the assay):

-   -   a. CellTracker™ Violet BMOC preparation:         -   i. Thaw CellTracker™ Violet BMQC dye at room temperature 10             mins before use.         -   ii. Add 59 uL DMSO to achieve 5 mM stock concentration,             vortex and spin.         -   iii.

Cell labeling for co-culture stem (Label only one cell line         in a 2-cell line co-culture system):         -   i. Remove existing cell media for the Hs 235.Sk (ATCC®             CRL-7201™) or HskMC (ATCC® PCS-950-010™) cells and add 20 mL             CellTracker™ Violet BMQC containing media to each T-175.             Incubate at 37° C. for 45 mins.     -   c. Set up co-culture system:         -   i. Harvest both CellTracker™ Violet BMQC labeled cells (Hs             235.Sk (ATCC®CRL-7201™, or HskMC (ATCC® PCS-950-010™)) and             unlabeled cells (HEK293) with Trypsin-EDTA. Caution: Add             excess co-culture media (DMEM low glucose+10% FBS) and pipet             aggressively to achieve single cell suspension.         -   ii. Count and measure viability of cells using trypan blue             stain under the cell counter.         -   iii. Plate cells at the desired concentration (3.4E5 cells             in monoculture, 1.7E5 cells of each cell line in co-culture)             in each well of a 6-well plate. Each sample will have 2             replicates in co-culture and 1 replicate for monoculture.         -   iv. Allow the co-culture to grow overnight before the             experiment.

2. Incubation of BODIPY-labeled EV with Cell Co-culture:

-   -   a. Prepare 1 mL of BODIPY-EV formulations in appropriate media         (DMEM low glucose+10% FBS) to have a working concentration         (1.02E9 particles/mL) per well.     -   b. Remove culture media and add 1 mL BODIPY-EV/media to each         well of the 6-well plate.     -   c. Incubate for the desired amount of time (i.e., 1 hr and 2 hrs         in this experiment)     -   d. Harvest the cells with Trypsin EDTA.     -   e. Transfer the cells to microcentrifuge tubes. Spin cells at         3000 rpm for 7 mins to aspirate media.     -   f. Wash the cells with 1 mL ice cold PBS. Spin cells at 3000 rpm         for 5 mins to remove PBS.     -   g. Re-suspend the cells in 200 μL PBS. The cells are now ready         for flow cytometry analysis.

Example 5: Vesicle Delivery In Vitro to Skeletal Muscle CeUs

EVs are obtained from the conditioned media supernatant of cultured HEK293 cells. The EVs are isolated using ultracentrifugation (size selection to enrich for a general EV population). The EVs are loaded with a reporter (e.g., CPSD) or mRNA encoding a reporter (e.g., GFP), as described in Example 8.

Skeletal muscle cell line such as Hs 235.Sk (ATCC® CRL-7201™) is grown to confluence and then the EVs with reporter are added to the skeletal muscle cell line. After incubating the skeletal muscle Hs235.Sk cells with the EVs, the excess EVs are washed away. The cells are then subjected to fluorescence microscopy to identify those cells that have obtained a reporter from the EVs. EV delivery to the cells is identified by reporter activity in cells.

Example 6: Vesiele Delivery In Vivo to Skeletal Muscle Cells

EVs are obtained from the media of Hs 235.Sk (ATCC® CRL-7201™). The EVs are isolated using ultracentrifugation (size selection to enrich for a general EV population). The EVs are loaded with a reporter (e.g., CPSD) or mRNA encoding a reporter (e.g., GFP), as described in Example 8. The animal model B6.129X1-Nfe212^(tm1Ywk) mice are used for this study.

B6.129X-Nfe212^(tm1Ywk) mice are injected with EVs containing the reporter CPSD. After 24 hours, the mice are sacrificed and the animal's skeletal myocytes are examined with fluorescence microscopy. EV delivery to skeletal muscle tissue is identified by reporter activity in the skeletal muscle cells.

Example 7: Assessing EV Yield from Cell Culture Production

Exosomes presenting targeting moieties of interest are engineered as described in herein. The number of isolated exosomes are quantified using nanoparticle tracking analysis.

NTA measurements are obtained with a NanoSight NS300 instrument equipped with the Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) 3.3 analytical software (Malvern Panalytical). Samples are diluted to achieve a particle count in the linear range of the instrument: between 20 and 150 particles on the screen at one time.

Example 8: Introducing Payloads into Engineered Exosomes Carrying Markers of Interest

An exosome is engineered to incorporate a targeting moiety(ies) of a skeletal muscle marker, such as a scFv or affinity peptide as a targeting moiety directed to a skeletal muscle marker, for example a subunit or multiple subunits of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor found in skeletal muscle (e.g., α1β1δε (adult) and α1β1γδ (fetal) nAChRs; see Tsetlin, V. and Kasheverov, I. (2014) Peptide and Protein Neurotoxin Toolbox in Research on Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors. In T. Heinbockel (Ed.), Neurochemistry, IntechOpen, DOI: 10.5772/58240; Lebbe, E. K. M. et al. (2014) Conotoxins Targeting Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors: An Overview. Mar. Drugs 12:2970-3004); and McIntosh, J. et al. (1999) Conus Peptides Targeted to Specific Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subtypes. Ann. Rev. Biochem. 68:59-88). Alternatively, an exosome is engineered to comprise any one of the following targeting moieties ENO2, JSRP1, VAPA, TMOD1 or a functional fragment thereof. The engineered or isolated exosome or EV is loaded with a CRISPR gene editing system, a transgene or a miRNA. miRNA may be selected from the group consisting of miR-133a, miR-1, miR-133, miR-133b, miR-181a-5p, miR-206, and miR-499. Alternatively, the engineered or isolated exosome is loaded with fenretinide. The loaded exosome is then used to ameliorate insulin resistance of obese subject and/or reduce obesity in a subject.

Exosome protein input of ˜300 μg (from about 1×10{circumflex over ( )}7 exosomes) is suspended in 50 μl of sterile PBS. A reaction mixture consisting of exosomes, 10 μl of Exo-Fect Reagent and nucleic acid of interest (20 pmol si/miRNA, 1 μg mRNA or 5 μg plasmid DNA) is put together and mixed by inversion. The transfection solution is incubated in a shaker for 10 minutes at 37° C. and then placed on ice. To stop the reaction, 30 μl of ExoQuick-TC reagent provided in the kit is added to the exosome sample suspension and mixed by inverting. The transfected exosome sample is placed on ice for 30 minutes. The sample is centrifuged at 13000-14000 rpm to pellet the exosomes. The transfected exosomes are then resuspended in PBS and can be added to target cells or used in vivo for further applications.

Alternatively, exosomes may be isolated from HEK293 or engineered cells expressing fusion protein comprising a targeting moiety and vesicle localization moiety or a chimeric versicle localization moiety. Sample isolated EVs are prepared in PBS buffer at a concentration of 2.10E+11 particles/mL. Fenretinide (Selleck Chemicals: Cat No: S5233) was dissolved in 100% DMSO. The fenretinide/DMSO stock solution can be 5 mM or 10 mM. Protocol for introducing fenretinide into EV to obtain EV comprising fenretinide (fenretinide-EV, also called fen-EV, EV-fen or EV-fenretinide) and purifying the fenretinide-EV from extra-vesicular (not associated with an EV) fenretinide not incorporated into EVs:

A. Exosome/drug substance incubation:

-   -   1. The EV samples were diluted with PBS to a final EV         concentration around 2.10E11 particles per mL.     -   2. For every 2,000 μL of exosome solution, 128.67 μL of 10 mM         fenretinide in 100% DMSO were added to achieve a drug substance         (fenretinide) mass (in μg) to 1E9 EV count ratio of 1.2 in the         appropriate tube format. (Final DMSO concentration amount for         this sample was ˜6% of the total volume.)     -   3. The EVs with the drug solution were mixed by pipetting up and         down a couple of times at room temperature, with no extended         incubation, then processed immediately according to the clean-up         steps below.

B. Corning® Costar® SpinX® (0.22 μm cellulose acetate membrane filter) centrifuge tube filter for large drug substance aggregates removal

-   -   1. 2,000 μL of fenretinide-EV samples were split into four 0.5         mL SpinX® filters (Corning® Costar®, VWR, 29442-752; 0.22 Jlm         cellulose acetate membrane filter) and filtered by         centrifugation at 1,000×g.     -   2. Samples were pooled to obtain ˜2 mL volume and aliquots were         collected pre- and post-filtration for in-process analysis.

C. Amicon® Ultra-15 centrifugal filter for removing free/non-packaged drug substance:

-   -   1. 5 mL of 1× PBS buffer was added to rinse the 100 kDa Amicon®         Ultra-15 concentrator tube (Sigma/Millipore, UFC910024) and         centrifuged at 3,220×g for 5 mins. The flow through was removed.     -   2. (Wash 1) 13 mL of 1× PBS was added to each concentrator tube.         2 mL of filtered fenretinide-EV sample was added to the         concentrator tube and centrifuged at 3,220×g until the sample         was concentrated to ˜0.5 mL. The flow through was discarded.     -   3. (Wash 2) 14 mL of PBS was added to each concentrator tube and         mixed well by pipetting. The tube was centrifuged at 3,220×g         until sample and was concentrated to ˜0.5 mL. The flow through         was discarded.     -   4. (Wash 3) 14 mL of PBS was added to each concentrator tube and         mixed well by pipetting. The tube was centrifuged at 3,220×g         until sample and was concentrated to ˜0.5 mL. The flow through         was discarded.     -   5. P200 Pipetman® was used to rinse the concentrator membrane of         each tube with the concentrated sample. Fenretinide-EV samples         were transferred to a 0.22 μm Spin-X filter, filtered by         centrifuging at 1,000×g for 5 minutes to obtain a final         sterilized sample.

D. Post-packaging QC metrics:

-   -   1. Drug quantitation: Final drug substance amount, concentration         and packaging were quantified from the final drug packaged EV         sample. Final drug quantitation was performed using absorption         spectra from the plate reader (using Synergy H1M, BioTek) using         the following steps:         -   a. The final fenretinide-EV sample was diluted 1 OX in PBS,             and 200 μL were loaded into the UV-transparent plate             (Corning, cat no 3635).         -   b. The standard curve was generated by performing 2× serial             dilutions (from about 125 μM to 0.5 μM) of the             fenretinide/100% DMSO stock in DMSO/PBS (50:50) solution to             generate a standard curve. The fenretinide/DMSO/PBS standard             curve samples also had 200 μL in the wells.         -   c. The absorption spectra were measured (250 to 800 run             range) by a BioTek Synergy H1 plate reader.         -   d. The linear fit from the standard curve generated from the             fenretinide/DMSO/PBS samples was used to interpolate the             concentration of fenretinide in the fenretinideEV samples.     -   2. Size measurements: Samples were run on Nanoparticle Tracking         Analysis (NTA) NanoSight NS300 (Malvern) to determine EV         particle size distribution and count using a sample volume         ranging from about 1 μL to 1,000 μL.         Packaging of 118.2 μg fenretinide inside EV (2.0E11 particles)         with 24.9% encapsulation efficiency and a final concentration of         604 μM fenretinide-EV in PBS may be achieved.

In addition to the above two methods for loading a payload of interest into an extracellular vesicle, the art is replete with other methods for loading payloads of interest including electroporation, sonication, permeabilization with saponin, free-thaw cycles, Ca²⁺ method, pH gradient method, lipid vesicle fusion, mechanical vibration, extrusion through porous membranes, electric current and combinations thereof

Example 9: Construction of Chimeric Vesicle Localization Moiety

To improve performance of vesicle localization moiety in localizing at an extracellular vesicle, chimeric vesicle localization moieties were constructed as schematically presented in FIGS. 1 and 2 . Vector #91 construct when introduced into HEK293F cells produces a fusion protein comprising from amino-to-carboxyl terminus in the order: a signal sequence (for improved expression and endoplasmic reticulum association)-glycosylation site (for stabilization of fusion protein)-mature LAMP2 (Lysosome-associated membrane protein 2) protein with surface, transmembrane and cytosolic domains (for localization to exosomes). Note that the mature LAMP2 protein used lacks its natural signal sequence—the first 28 amino acids normally found at N-terminal of a nascent LAMP2 protein but is removed following association with a cell membrane, such as endoplasmic reticulum, such that the resulting processed, mature LAMP2 form is found associated with an exosome. The fusion protein may additionally comprise peptide linkers. Such peptide linkers rich in glycine and serine amino acids may be found between the signal sequence, glycosylation site and LAMP2 protein. In addition, optionally, epitope sequence (such as that corresponding to 3x FLAG epitope tag) and affinity peptide sequence may be found in between the signal sequence and the glycosylation site. Examples of suitable affinity peptides include, but are not limited to, THRPPMWSPVWP (SEQ ID NO.: 64), a targeting moiety or peptide for transferrin receptor (TfR), and THVSPNQGGLPS (SEQ ID NO.: 66), a targeting moiety or peptide for glypican-3 (GPC3). This LAMP2 fusion protein serves as one parental vesicle localization moiety (see FIG. 1 , vector #91 for a schematic of a fusion protein comprising the mature LAMP2 protein (lacking its native LAMP2 signal peptide sequence); see FIG. 3 , vector #91 for the sequence of the LAMP2 fusion protein produced and FIG. 9 , vector #91 for the sequence of the mature LAMP2 protein with the surface, transmembrane and cytosolic domains but lacking the first 28 amino acids corresponding to its natural signal sequence). In FIGS. 9-12 or Table 5, amino acid sequences corresponding to the surface, transmembrane and cytosolic domains are extracted from the sequences of the fusion proteins provided in FIGS. 3-8 or Table 3 so that only the vesicle localization moiety or chimeric vesicle localization moiety amino acid sequences are shown. The surface domain (italic text) precedes the transmembrane domain (italic and bold) which is found between the surface and cytosolic domain (italic and underline) and connects these two domains.

A second parental vesicle localization moiety was constructed with mature CLSTN1 protein coding sequence, as schematically shown for vector #112 in FIG. 1 . The mature CLSTN1 protein coding sequence lacks the first 28 codons of the nascent full length CLSTN1 protein coding sequence; the first 28 amino acids of the nascent CLSTN1 protein corresponds to its natural CLSTN1 signal sequence, which is normally removed upon association of the nascent protein with the endoplasmic reticulum and eventual incorporation of this processed mature CLSTN1 protein into an intraluminal vesicle before secretion from a multivesicular body (MVB) (Hanson, P. I. and Cashikar, A. (2012) Multivesicular body morphogenesis. Ann. Rev. Cell Dev. Biol. 28:337-3621 and Hessvik, N. P. and Llorente, A. (2018) Current knowledge on exosome biogenesis and release. Cell. Mol. Life Sci. 75:193-208). The primary amino acid sequence of the mature CLSTN1 protein, like mature LAMP2 protein, differs from the full length nascent CLSTN1 protein (similarly to full length nascent LAMP2 protein) in lacking the native signal sequence, the first 28 amino acids at the N-terminus of the full-length nascent protein. Like the LAMP2 fusion protein produced from the expression of vector #91 in mammalian cells (HEK293F), the CLSTN1 fusion protein has a similar arrangement of a non-native signal sequence at the amino terminus of the fusion protein along with epitope sequence and glycosylation site. Linkers are similarly present and in addition an affinity peptide is present in the CLSTN1 fusion protein (see FIG. 1 , vector #112 for a map of functional sequences encoding the fusion protein; FIG. 4 for the sequence of the parental CLSTN1 fusion protein produced from vector #112 and FIG. 9 for the sequence of the mature CLSTN1 protein).

Chimeric vesicle localization moieties were prepared primarily based on the surface domain and transmembrane domain of LAMP2 (surface-and-transmembrane domain of LAMP2) and cytosolic domain from other transmembrane proteins. Type I transmembrane proteins were used, having the following characteristic after incorporation into an extracellular vesicle (e.g., an exosome): an amino-terminal surface domain, a single pass transmembrane domain and a carboxyl-terminal lumenal domain (also referred to its topological equivalence, as a cytosolic domain prior to the formation of an exosome but following insertion into the endoplasmic reticulum). In particular, the cytosolic domain (lumenal domain) of LAMP2 is replaced with the cytosolic domain of PTGFRN (vector #135), ITGA3 (vector #140), IL3RA (vector #141), SELPLG (vector #142), ITGB1 (vector #143) and CLSTN1 (vector #144), as schematically represented in FIGS. 1 and 2 . Amino acid sequences for fusion proteins prepared from these chimeric vesicle localization moieties are shown in FIG. 3-8 or Table 3. Sequences are shown in capital letter and bold for signal sequence, capital letter and underline for epitope sequence, shaded capital letter for affinity peptide, open boxed capital letter for peptide linker sequence, small letter for glycosylation site, capital letter and italic for surface domain, capital letter and bold italic for transmembrane domain and capital letter and underlined italic for cytosolic domain in FIGS. 3-8 .

To assess the effect of LAMP2 cytosolic domain for LAMP2 protein localization at extracellular vesicles, the cytosolic domain of mature LAMP2 protein was removed and replaced with a highly charged tetrapeptide, KKPR, to stabilize truncated LAMP2 on surface of EVs (see FIG. 2 , vector #145 for a map of the fusion protein with the truncated LAMP2 lacking its natural cytosolic domain replaced by a tetrapeptide, KKPR, and FIG. 8 , #145 for the amino acid sequence of the fusion protein with the truncated LAMP2 lacking its native cytosolic domain).

Example 10: Recombinant Protein Detection on the EV Surface

To ensure that EVs displayed the fusion protein construct encoded by the transfected plasmid and the fusion protein is oriented with correct transmembrane topology, isolated EVs are stained with fluorophore-conjugated anti-FLAG tag antibody and a membrane stain. The stained vesicles are evaluated using vesicle flow cytometry (vFC) (Cytoflex—Beckman Coulter). EVs are identified as membrane stain-positive particles. The amount of recombinant protein on each EV is detected using a fluorophore-conjugated antibody that binds specifically to the epitope sequence included in the primary sequence of the protein, and would only be available on the EV surface if the fusion protein is oriented in the intended topology (C-terminal domain in the lumen; N-terminal domain on the EV surface). The amount of recombinant protein on each evaluated EV is determined by the antibody signal/membrane-stained particle.

In FIG. 13 , EV populations were isolated from cells transfected with the indicated vector numbers. Isolated EVs were stained with a mouse monoclonal antibody specific to an epitope sequence encoded in the EV surface domain of each recombinant protein. The Y-axis represents the relative amount (on average) of antibody bound to each EV ignoring EVs not labeled by the anti-FLAG epitope tag antibody, serving as an indirect measure of the amount of recombinant protein incorporated into each EV. The background signal associated with EVs from mock transfected cells (Mock) has been subtracted from these values. The fraction of the total EV population displaying a detectable amount of the recombinant protein is shown in FIG. 14 .

Example 11: Chimeric Vesicle Localization Moiety with a Surface-and-Transmembrane Domain of First Vesicle Localization Moiety and a Cytosolic Domain can Increase EV Localization

Transient transfection of the different expression vector constructs for the production of the fusion proteins shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and having the amino acid sequences provided in FIG. 3-8 or Table 3 and analysis of the fusion protein localization at EVs isolated from culture media showed surprising alteration in the efficiency of accumulation of the fusion protein at an extracellular vesicle. Producing a fusion protein comprising a chimeric vesicle localization moiety having a LAMP2 surface-and-transmembrane domain and a non-native cytosolic domain from a number of different vesicle localization moieties PTGFRN (vector #135), ITGA3 (vector #140), IL3RA (vector #141), SELPLG (vector #142), ITGB1 (vector #143) and CLSTN1 (vector #144) showed dramatic improvement in the ability of the fusion protein to localize at an extracellular vesicle, increasing both the abundance of the fusion protein at an EV (FIG. 13 ) as well as the fraction or percent of EVs positive for the fusion protein (FIG. 14 ). In every case, replacement of the cytoplasmic domain of one vesicle localization moiety, LAMP2 protein, with that of a second vesicle localization moiety, PTGFRN (vector #135), ITGA3 (vector #140), IL3RA (vector #141), SELPLG (vector #142), ITGB1 (vector #143) and CLSTN1 (vector #144), resulted in both an increase in the abundance of fusion protein present on EV surface for EVs positively labeled by the anti-FLAG epitope tag antibody directed to the FLAG epitope tags in the fusion proteins (FIG. 13 ) and an increase in the fraction or percent of total EV population positive for the fusion protein (FIG. 14 ).

FIGS. 13 and 14 show that not only do chimeric vesicle localization moieties localize to EVs but localization of the fusion proteins is improved when a chimeric vesicle localization moiety is used in place of its non-chimeric counterpart (compare #135, 140, 141, 142, 143 and 144 with #91 or 112). Furthermore, deleting the cytosolic domain of LAMP2 and replacing with a positively charged tetrapeptide, KKPR, modestly improves localization of LAMP2 surface-and-transmembrane domain to EV (compare #145 with #91); however, the improvement in EV localization by transplanted cytosolic domains from a variety of vesicle localization moieties is much more robust—indicating that while a minimal cytosolic domain (i.e., KKPR) may be required for stable EV localization of a surface-transmembrane domain of a vesicle localization moiety (such as LAMP2), the cytosolic domain can modulate EV localization, affecting the efficiency of EV localization.

Normalization of the data in FIG. 13 to illustrate fold increase in fusion protein abundance or concentration on EV surface relative to the fusion protein comprising a mature LAMP2 (nascent LAMP2 protein lacking its native signal sequence, the first 28 amino acids at the amino terminus of the nascent protein; vector #91 construct) is shown in FIG. 15 . Similarly, normalization of the data in FIG. 14 to illustrate fold increase in percent or fraction of EVs positive for a fusion protein relative to the fusion protein comprising a mature LAMP2 protein produced by vector #99 construct is shown in FIG. 16 . Replacing the cytosolic domain of the mature LAMP2 protein with the cytosolic domain of a variety of other vesicle localization moiety results in about a 4-fold increase in fusion protein abundance at an EV for a number of cytosolic domain examined obtained from PTGFRN (vector #135), ITGA3 (vector #140), IL3RA (vector #141), SELPLG (vector #142), and ITGB1 (vector #143), as seen in FIG. 15 . Similar to this increase in the concentration of the fusion protein at an EV, fraction of total EVs positive for the various fusion proteins with a chimeric vesicle localization moiety (vector #135, 140, 141, 142, 143, and 144) increases 3-4 fold over the fusion protein comprising a non-chimeric vesicle localization moiety, namely the parental LAMP2 vesicle localization moiety (vector #91) which provided its LAMP2 surface-and-transmembrane domain to the various chimeric vesicle localization moieties (vector #135, 140, 141, 142, 143, and 144).

Example 12: Chimeric Vesicle Localization Moiety can Dramatically Improve EV Localization Over Parental Vesicle Localization Moieties

FIG. 15 shows fold increase in fusion protein abundance (or concentration) on EV surface relative to fusion protein produced by vector #91 construct (fusion protein with a mature LAMP2 protein having a contiguous surface-transmembrane-and-cytosolic domain but no native LAMP2 signal sequence), as detected by vesicle flow cytometry using a fluorophore-conjugated anti-FLAG epitope tag antibody. Compared to the fusion protein produced by vector #91, the fusion protein produced by vector #112 (fusion protein with a mature CLSTN1 protein having its surface-transmembrane-and-cytosolic domain but no native CLSTN1 signal sequence) concentrates at a much lower level, about 25% the abundance of the mature LAMP2-containing fusion protein (compare value of #91 and #112 in FIG. 15 ). Surprisingly, when the cytosolic domain of the mature LAMP2 is replaced with the cytosolic domain of the mature CLSTN1, the new chimeric vesicle localization moiety increases by about 2-fold the abundance of the fusion protein over its parental LAMP2 (compare value of #91 and #144) or over 8-fold the abundance of the fusion protein over its parental CLSTN1 (compare value of #112 and #144), indicative of synergistic interaction between the surface-and-transmembrane domain of LAMP2 and the cytosolic domain of CLSTN1.

Synergistic interaction leading to increased concentration of the fusion protein at an EV is also observed when analyzing fraction of total EV population positive for a fusion protein (FIG. 16 ). In particular, fusion protein comprising the parental LAMP2 vesicle localization moiety is better at associating with total EV population having a normalized value of 1.00 (#91) than the fusion protein comprising the parental CLSTN1 vesicle localization moiety with a normalized value 0.15 (#112). In contrast, a fusion protein comprising a chimeric vesicle domain produced from the two parental vesicle localization moieties (#144) has a normalized value of 3.79, reflecting over 3.5-fold increase over the parental LAMP2 vesicle localization moiety and over 25-fold over the parental CLSTN1 vesicle localization moiety. Such a dramatic increase in association with total EV population which reaches about 55% (see FIG. 14 , #144) by a fusion protein comprising a chimeric vesicle localization moiety is unexpected. The observed increase in EV localization is not unique to the use of CLSTN1 cytosolic domain to replace the LAMP2 cytosolic domain. A number of other cytosolic domains also increase EV localization beyond that of the parental LAMP2 vesicle localization moiety, indicating that the cytosolic domain of PTGFRN, ITGA3, IL3RA, SELPLG, and ITGB1 may function in a similar manner as the cytosolic domain of CLSTN1 to synergistically increase EV localization, both concentrating at a single EV as well as associating with the total EV population.

Thus, analyses of fusion protein abundance on an EV surface and fraction (or percent) of total EV population positive for fusion protein showed that a chimeric vesicle localization moiety comprising a surface-and-transmembrane domain of a first vesicle localization moiety and a cytosolic domain of a second vesicle localization moiety can interact synergistically to increase accumulation at an extracellular vesicle. Such a finding provides an approach not only to improve EV localization but potentially to change the composition of EVs as the chimeric vesicle localization moiety may interact with a different set of proteins or has altered affinity to the set of proteins recruited to an extracellular vesicle by the two native vesicle localization moieties.

FIGS. 13-16 are bar graphs showing abundance of a vesicle localization moiety or chimeric vesicle localization moiety at an EV having the localization moiety (FIGS. 13 and 15 ) and fraction of total EVs positive for the vesicle localization moiety or chimeric vesicle localization moiety (FIGS. 14 and 16 ). EVs are isolated from culture media of cells transiently transfected with the expression construct (vector) indicated below each bar graph. The isolated EV population is labeled with a membrane-staining fluorescent dye with a spectral characteristic distinct a second fluorescent dye used to conjugate to an anti-FLAG antibody. The fluorescent dye-labeled EV population is probed with the fluorophore-conjugated anti-FLAG antibody to detect presence of fusion protein comprising a vesicle localization moiety or a chimeric vesicle localization moiety, as all fusion proteins produced have 3× FLAG epitope preceding the surface domain. The resulting EVs are analyzed by vesicle flow cytometry (vFC) in a CytoFLEX benchtop flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter) to detect the EVs based on the membrane-staining fluorescent dye. In addition, based on the second fluorescent dye, the subset of EVs additionally labeled by the anti-FLAG antibody are identified and fluorescence associated with the 2^(nd) fluorescent dye quantified. Fluorescence (of the 2^(nd) fluorescent dye) associated with EVs obtained from mock transfected cells and similarly treated is subtracted, as this fluorescence is not associated with presence of a FLAG epitope tag. FIG. 13 is a plot of mean antibody fluorescence of an EV positively labeled with the anti-FLAG antibody for the fusion protein expressed by the indicated expression vector. FIG. 14 is a plot of percent of total EV positively labeled by the anti-FLAG antibody. FIGS. 15 and 16 show the fold changes in levels reported in FIGS. 13 and 14 , respectively, in relation to expression vector #91, which expresses a fusion protein comprising a mature LAMP2 protein.
